Anyone from Vancouver, Canada?

Hello traders,


I am from Edmonton, Alberta. Anyone from here feel free to PM me. I trade only the ES mini contract.

 

Are the Vancouver guys going to get together this year?

The last get together was roughly 1 year ago?


Lets go for a chat and beer.

Whos up for it?

 

My thoughts exactly...its time to get together (any night except Thursdays!).

 

Yep.

 

We definately should.

It'd be nice to see some of the faces of the other local traders.

 

I currently live in Seattle(us citizen) but I bought a condo in Vancouver and live up there half the time .

There is absolutely nothing in Seattle as far as trading or prop firms.

I am currently taking the CSC course and CMT just to have on my resume just in case I go thru my money again which has happened 3 times already due to living off profits and one bad year.

Was wondering if anyone knows If I ..a US citizen with possible Canadian residency due to owning a condo...can trade for a firm or even a prop firm.??

Possible under the specialized work visa?


Regardless..it would be nice to meet up with fellow traders.

 

I love BC and Vancouver.

was thinking of coming up over the summer to trade for 3-4 months.

If anyone would be good enough to advise briefly what I need to arrange in order to rent a place, get a visa, get a cable/dsl account etc., it would be very much appreciated. I live in Chicago, but have some familiarity with BC from prior experiences (2-3 week Holidays).

QUISP - Having living arrangements for both the US & Canada, your easiest option would be to trade 6 months, less a day, in Canada and the rest in the US. With this nothing changes... just the amazing scenery from a downtown Vancouver condo!

iceman1 - Also... trading for a very short period of time, i.e. 3-4 months, should not be that difficult, housing is plentiful and very reasonable. There are a couple firms with offices and numerous other's trading under the radar.

 

thanks for the reply...

 

I will be at your open house Friday to check things out .
Currently I am undercapitalized once again to trade the way I do..
position trade futures in different expiration zones..


That was my question actually.. On joining a prop firm in Canada as a US citizen or working for a hedge fund/small firm.
I tried to start a hedge fund but raising funds was next to impossible despite my record.


See ya up there!
