Do the people who make a career out of trading eventually have to move to NY or CHI?
I mean if you really want to be an actor you gotta move to L.A at some point.
Or is that analogy not applicable to trading??
I know many of you make good trades from wherever you may be in the world, but does that model really work with hundred million/billion dollar deals???
It just seems the really sucessful traders either live/work there or lived there until they could stand on their own trading legs. I'd like to know what I might be in for if I really commit to this profession.

I live and trade from California, trading the graveyard UK/NY session (it should rather be called the deathyard shift).
Some of the most
difficult work I've EVER done.
I'd prefer to trade from about 4AM or 5AM a 12-hour shift UK/NY market session time but do not see myself ever moving to Europe to do so.
The other part of it is that since forex trades 24-hours a day I can always find a trade to make when I am awake during the week, or some news event to track, making for an easy 90-hour work week.
