Posted at 02/10/2011 13:07 by phil mikok I would have got into trading in the 80's with my knowledge now and be a Billionaire living on a huge yacht like this one below. I would move my Yacht so every morning I would have a different horizon and sunset everyday.Long live hindsight :P |

Posted at 17/2/2007 21:52 by roverisback does anyone know that some of the live prices on mo-neyam are false and have been a minute or more behind LSE prices...this cost me £900 last week in triggered stop losses... one price on LSE was 90/91 while m-oneyam was showing 94/95 ...i complained to an ADVFN competitor but they didn't seem bothered..it happened on 2 different stocks on seperate days so isn't just a one off glitch.Just wondered if i could take them to trading standards...obviousl3 stocks it happened to last week was GWP,VLR and RDG...GWP was the worst offender and must have made spread bet companies thousands in triggered stop losses |

Posted at 22/1/2002 00:40 by bensta I want to start this thread to collect together some ideas and info on the aspects of trying to make a living out of trading. Or at least being able to live for a few months/yrs and getting out of the rat race and enjoying some time abroad.I don't want to discuss trading strategies as we already have an excellent thread for that but would like to hear experiences from people who have done this on things such as internet access from abroad, overheads/cost of living, tax implications, good places/countries to trade from and all the pitfalls that go with any of these things. The nightmares are as useful as the good experiences to keep reality in check! There have already been some ideas and experiences on the day traders thread but I would appreciate if we can transfer those onto hear so that they don't get lost and can be easily referenced. Cheers for your help Ben |
Posted at 21/1/2002 18:34 by finca I have made a living (reasonable) from trading for the last three years.From my previous career I had travelled quite extensively and had picked up a couple of languges (badly). I now live in Spain where the cost of living is probably half of the UK. It helps being able to speak the language but is not essential. Certain parts of the Spanish bureacracy are frustrating but generally as long as you buy/rent a property in or near a town, telephone access can easily be arranged, usually with ADSL. Without a job you will not be entitled to use the Spanish health system, but you may want to keep a low profile anyway as the Spanish rates of tax are higher than the UK and start at lower thresholds. Internet access without ADSL is about £1 per hour during the day. |
Posted at 21/1/2002 18:17 by bensta Thanks for all those comments so far guys.My sitaution is that I have been working in telecomms for 3 years since graduation and have decided that I would prefer another vocation to the current one. I don't like where I live but have made good equity on my house in the short time that I have had it so selling it is not a problem to me and there may be other reasons for doing so. So I am still young (26) enough to go into another career area that I have decided I am more drawn to but have enough capital to take time out at least and ponder whether to do it professionally working for a company or as an amatuer working by myself if that makes sense. During this time out I want to preserve my capital should I need it to start the humdrum again so would like to pay my way by trading and living cheaply. I think this is quite possible and totally agree with indalo that you've got to have a go if that's what you want to do. It's not as drastic as jacking everything in to try and become a millionaire and there's more to it than the trading and money, there's life out there somewhere! My world has become too small for my liking and I am stagnating with no big goals in life if I stay as I am. We are talking boredom for the next 20 years!! There are plenty of backup options if it goes wrong and possibilities for a smooth transition to life abroad as I have already mentioned. Other guys on this BB have already said what great times they have had doing exactly this and I want to hear about how they made it possible but also why they came back and if they got bored/lonely/couldn' Let's have it!

Posted at 21/1/2002 18:11 by olbeoo I have `day traded ` in a small way for the past 8 years, after taking (very) early reirement in my early fifties, personally I was only interested in spending enough time at it to profit enough to cover both my wifes and my CGT allowance, so we were not relying on the money to live on , but for luxuries,Until the crash of 18 months or so ago I met my targets relatively easily, for a while who couldn`t? I dealt long, short,traded index options, all by telephone with `no- advice` brokers, so for say six years I made( and this is not boasting, the downside is coming)around an average of £15,000 tax free at it, however I cheated by having Peps with an advice broker who I used for advice outside the Peps, well they charge enough anyway. Last financial year I dropped a cool £10,000, and this one looks close to the same, the secret is not to feel you have to `punt` when the markets are moving all over the place and even more important not to let it become an obsession. I had a bash at spread betting , with disastrous consequences, any way all you are doing is paying the bookies spread on top of the market- makers spread, and don`t be fooled into thinking that a stop loss will cover you , turn your back and its whacked, purely for gamblers I think, use a decent broker to trade futures, must be 20% cheaper. All only my personal experience I hasten to add, I guess someone will say they make a fortune from day- trading, youth and a bag of cash may well help, also a market with at least a tendency to slowly gain is a great help, good luck |
Posted at 21/1/2002 13:54 by bensta Hi Mab,Let's put it like this… the trading is a means to support a certain lifestyle that would be something completely different from what I do now. Its not a meant toget rich by in any hurry. That said, I would certainly not be able to trade successfully enough to live in the part of the country that I do now and would not want to as I would get no 'life benefit' or extend my cultural experiences. I do believe that it is possible to make enough to live on and enjoy a bit of life in some places abroad. andyj sounds like he had the perfect example on the DTT of day trading in Croatia on £150 of overheads per month. I work now and I'm frustrated that I cannot trade the opening of the Dow as I have been successful doing that when I have had the opportunity. I am bored of my work and life in general so it is a lot about doing something different than making lots of money. I have plenty of time before I decide if I will do this or not and that gives me more time to get more trading experience. I have family who live in Spain and Turkey who have fixed line internet access so I can come to arrangements there for starters to test the lifestyle in sunnier climes. If I sell my house I would have plenty of funds so the pressure to make money would not be great for quite a while. All that doesn't worry me, I'm just more concerned and interested in tips and pitfalls of the whole thing. Cheers for now Ben |
