Well, it’s been a few months since I’ve been out of the country. Ever since our last trip to Costa Rica, I’ve been hacking away at the e-mini futures markets. Also, I’ve been immersed with our MAP Mastery class, which is a group of 30 traders who have invested 95 days to learn how to trade the MAP Trading Strategy.

Anyway, we kicked around a few ideas for our next trading trip, and the winner for this time of the year is Buenos Aires, Argentina! We chose Buenos Aires for a few reasons… First, it’s known as the “Paris of the south”. The rich culture and European influence makes for a really cool experience. Next (and most importantly), the internet is fast and reliable enough to day trade e-minis. We’re taking a few air cards just in case the main cable goes out, but I think we’ll be just fine.

Also, I’ve been wanting to improve my trading via laptop. I usually trade with two 22″ monitors, but I’m only taking a 15″ laptop with an extra 17″ monitor. It takes a day or two to get adjusted, but becomes natural after pegging a few trades.

We locked down a really sweet apartment right in San Telmo. This town square we’re staying around is where tango music was invented. I might end up looking like a dork, but I figure I’ll give it a shot. After all, when in Rome… or Buenos Aires.

So, any ideas where we should head in the summer? For our next trip, we were thinking about Italy or Ireland. I’ve never traded from Europe before, and I’m curious to see how the time change effects my game. Anybody have any experience with this?

Until next time…
