First I want to thank Roosh and everyone else here for providing a place to escape the liberal agenda that is strangling America and much of the world. Thanks Guys!!! Fortunately I was raised by my father and grew up pretty alpha. However this forum has taught me to express myself more. No more Mr nice guy. The last couple of years I have been doing well with the women.

I am a 43 yr old white 6' man of average looks in good physical shape. Make about 100K USD a year net with about 30 days of work every 2 years. I could use some more pounds on me and some more hair but it isn't killing my game. As the title says I have location independent ability. Since women here in the US are a little age sensitive and most all of them have kids I am going to Europe this coming summer. Pretty soon here I am going to have to wife up. White chicks are my favorite. So far I am going to Germany for family, Prague for long time friends, and then I was thinking Ukraine or maybe Poland for 3 - 6 months. Ukraine has more interest for me as far as adventure is concerned. Russia has always fascinated me and it sounds like Ukraine is as close as I am going to get. I really wished I liked Mexican chicks better since I winter in Mexico every year for a couple of months...

I am looking for suggestions and insight. I have read much on this forum and appreciate all those who have posted extensive information. Thank you again!

I'll tell you if you tell me how to make $100k with 30 days of work.

[CamelToe]

I agree with GlobalMan.... give back to the forum and tell us how you make a living.

Secondly, everyone's paradise is different. Not everyone will be happy in the same place/culture and you really need to get out there and explore to find what's right for you.

I have lived 10 years in a region that is far from a pussy paradise but for me it offers other adventure/opportunities that I wouldn't have elsewhere. I enjoy my lifestyle and don't reckon I'll be leaving just because there is less tail here.

[Jeptomf]

Thanks guys for the reply! Yes of couse everyone is different. Im an outdoors kinda guy but I have to move to a more populated area. Its a given. I grew up in Los Angeles(south bay beach area) so I can do the city thing! I guess I am asking for some guidence. Maybe make a few friends along the way.

To answer the income question? I inheritated and remodeled a couple houses in California which I rent as well and paid off my house here in Colorado. I built spec houses and also started trading futures and stocks since college. I wish I had a magic bullet to share. I can say it took a lot of work and scrifice that most are not willing to do.

Now if you can save up 20k and also can work from 8am est to 12 noon est I may have something for you. You can start practicing before you save up the 20k. But it will not be easy. It isnt easy for me either. You fight all the same demons within youself just like with game.

I trade with one of the best futs traders there is.(imho) PM me if you interested. I will not post here out of respect for him. I will help you get your head screwed on straight as well. Just to be clear the 100k income I refered to earlier dosent include any of my trading profits.

If you want an easier route than trading. Buy the cheapest house in your area and rent them to what are possibly the worst tennants on earth and you will make a good ROI. (Return on investment) but you will not be location independent.

Now if anyone wants financial advice on setting up a game plan for financial success/debt/freedom I can help. Once again it will not be easy but i'll share what I have learned.

Thanks again guys!

So why did you discount Russia?

[Jeptomf]

I like to trade the US futures(stock) market from 8am est to 12 noon est. The further I travel east the later in the day I would start working. In Japan I would start at 12 midnight and work till 4am.
I dont discount Russia but I western russia would be best.

[DaveR]

As someone who does a lot of trading myself, I would say South America is your only option. Trading at night isn't a good idea as far as your health is concerned, both mental and physical.

Could you adjust to the London session? Trading that session would make anywhere in Europe a lot easier.

[Jeptomf]

Hey Dave, yes I could do the london session for my es trades. I was thinking that starting at 3pm in kiev and working to 7pm for the USA session wouldn't be too bad. In the worst case scenario I would be working to 10pm if I were stuck in a bad trade and working my way out of it. I am actually looking forward to not having to get up so early. Makes the nightlife easier! But then I have not tried it yet.

[DaveR]

The main problem is the lack of sunlight, especially in Russia/Ukraine where there isn't a lot of it. In Moscow it's already dark by 4pm for 4-5 months of the year. I've tried living on a shifted schedule in the past (wake up at 12 noon and adjust from there), but found it unsustainable. It might be ok for a month or two, but I think everyone would eventually develop sleep issues with that kind of lifestyle (sleep problems are very common here). You might be able to get away with it if you use a daylight lamp religiously, but since you're location independent, a better solution would be to live somewhere else during Winter.


How location-independent are you planning to be? Are you thinking about moving every couple of months, or are you looking for a longer-term base?

If you plan to transport big screens frequently, 27-inch iMacs in rugged flight cases are the best solution I've found so far. Much easier than FedEx/DHL, and iMacs are solid enough to be transported as luggage in a plane with the right case. Tenba ones, for example: http://www.tenba.com/uk/products/transpo...heels.aspx

[Jeptomf]

Thanks for link to the cases. I have big monitors at home here but I dont need them. I can trade the es with a laptop and my extra laptop screen(optional) and a tablet(for my dom(execution)).

I do not think i would want to move every couple months to a new place for very long. And you better believe that I will be flying south for winter. I dont think anywhere in europe is warm enough in winter. South america or mexico. I do mexico every year now. Greece or Spain might work for winter if I have to. Lol..
For the EE countries am I going to need to learn Russian? Thanks again for taking an interest in me.

[tomtud]

Futures is very risky, but the leverage is incredible. 20k to day trade is gonna take lots of discipline as movements in say the eminis can wipe out or add to your account real fast.

I am studying options as I personally prefer this derivative to day trading currencies and the emini for example.

In your case, travel..... Find which countries suit your personal needs and go from there. Then after your long search, settle on some place and stay there longer.

[Jeptomf]

Options just piss me off but I do have a friend who is day trading them and doing well. But he is new to trading so we will see in a couple years.
I have been trading futs my whole life. And the es demands discipline. My emini accounts are way over 20k. I trade in lots of 3 with two accounts and sometimes I have multiple units of 3 on.
Yes I will check out Kiev and Prague as well as Germany this comming summer. Do you think it would be worth it to learn Russian? I know it will be very very hard.

[jj90]

Here's my 2 cents on trading hours re: timezones.

It depends on if you are a morning bird or night owl. I'm a night owl, I was working NY hours in BKK last summer and felt great. I've done NY hours on the east coast and that was still a little too early for me.

Eventually when you get settled down you will need to be in a timezone that's not too late so realistically that's SA or Europe somewhere.

[Heart Break Kid]

Latin America seems to be a good choice. Cheap, no timezone issue, has white chicks, and being a white American male helps.

Living in Russia without learning Russian is kind of like living in Latin America without Spanish. It's possible to get by without it, but it won't be very enjoyable and you'll be surrounded by western groupies who are obsessed with the culture you're trying to escape. At least half of the women either won't be able or won't be willing to hold a conversation in English. Most of the expatriates I know who end up hating Russia are the ones who can't speak Russian...

Have either of you guys considered stepping up to a higher time frame and looking for larger moves? I'm trading a very small account right now while I get my feet wet. I'm looking for volatility breakouts on the weekly charts. It's boring, but it doesn't take much time and I'm looking for profit, not excitement.

Anyway, it sounds like both of you are much further along in your trading experience than I am, so I'm sure you've already considered it.

Most of the time I check my charts hourly because most of the grunt work is done on the 1-hour chart. I use the four-hour chart a filter so I don't have to check every instrument every hour.

My workflow is:
- Check the daily chart at the start of each day - mark major patterns (highs/lows, fibs, trend/break lines, etc.)
- Check the 4-hour at 8:00,12:00 and 16:00: this is where I watch for opportunities. If something looks promising, I'll open a 1-hour chart for that instrument on another screen. If not, I won't go down to the 1-hour timeframe.
- Check 1-hour charts at the start of each hour. This is where I watch for breaks/retests and any other triggers. If something happens, I'll go down to the 15-minute chart for order entry/exit.


It helps to have some activities you can do without any forward planning while waiting for the next hourly candle. You can't ever predict when you'll be busy and when not - the market will determine that for you. I usually try to study something, exercise, sometimes read RVF...
