Lots of negative news going on for US residents. Those who make a living with trading income need to shift to Canada and trade from there. Show Canadian residency though you are US citizen
One small hiccup. US Citizens are taxed on citizenship and residency. US Tax authorities make life difficult for US citizens and people paying US citizens no matter where they live.

{quote} US citizens can live in Canada and as well as Canadian citizens can live in the US. It is legal. By trade agreement.
Yes, but all brokers other than us & offshore want nothing to do with US citizens as soon as they show their passport or dual passport with original place of birth, that is unless they are >10M in assets & ECP exempted from US regulations.

If you live abroad + have domestic local income... some financial institutions will deal with US citizens, but many still will not.

{quote} Residency is the key word, not citizenship
You just need to live in another country and have a residency in that country to get around this.

That's why you don't show passport and only show relevant Residency documents. There are a few good and inexpensive options going forward but don't want to share on this board for obvious reasons. As far as getting away from the 40-50%tax, renouncing is the only route. Currently working towards that end.

Yeah it doesn't work like that. They still have to file in Canada and the US as long as they are US Citizens. You get to deduct taxes paid in another country as an income expense but you still have to file.

My daughter is a Canadian Citizen, living in the US, earning both US and Canadian income and must file in both Canada and the US.

If she didn't have the Canadian sourced income she would not have to file in Canada.

If Americans are looking to leave the US in response to prop tradings downfall. I highly recommend St Kitts and Nevis. It will be fun if enough people make a forex community on the lovely beautiful islands of St Kitts and Nevis.

Hire me as the tourism ministry please.

Income is income. What matters is if it is taxable income and what expenses are allowed against the income. Rental income has to be reported both in Canada and the US.

{quote} The IP blocked US. Which seems to satisfy metaquotes, at least we will see. I am not so sure. The things I hear are contradictory. I hear that metaquotes just wants US off their platform at the same time I am hearing they want 3rd party brokers to stop offering to props.
Just watch... Oanda, Forex . com, Trading . com, etc. will all still be allowed to offer MT4 / MT5 to US citizens, so it's not quite as simple as US being banned completely I don't think. Maybe it's because they don't offer CFDs or are "registered" or pay the annual mafia "fees".

They have licenses to do so. It would be strange if Metaquotes dumped them.

Then why can't a prop firm do this as well? And why are City Traders Imperium and The5ers both so certain that they are not affected by all this?
