Yes this is true and your edge is you! A huge advantage retail traders have is that they can choose NOT to trade.

Nice one, thanks for sharing :-)

A lot of brokers now offer funding and withdrawal via Paypal (here's an example). Would that not cover you if you travel a lot? You could then withdraw your funds from Paypal to the debit card of your choice... Also, a lot of places accept payment ...

Keep it Simple! Simple trading mindset Don't be tempted to over-complicate everything. Simple is good!

Yep, just what I was going to say!
