I am a retired forex trader and portfolio manager who still trades but now for my own account.
I worked in New York and Asia for more than 25 years and now live in Thailand more than six months of the year while maintaining a US address.
One great thing about Intenet technology is that you can trade from anywhere in the world where you can get a high speed Internet connection. Many of the online trading platforms are excellent. Free charting features are more advanced than programs that cost thousands of dollars a month back in the 80's and 90's.
