Nomadland - a great movie. Trading from a van - a great idea.

Van dwelling and trading - can it work?

Nomadland is a movie about a woman in her sixties who, after losing everything in the Great Recession embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad.


The Great Recession is a term not always used, but it refers to the sharp decline in economic activity during the late 2000s. It was the most significant downturn since the Great Depression. The U.S. recession, officially lasting from December 2007 to June 2009, and the ensuing global recession in 2009 destroyed more wealth in a few short years than was imaginable before that time. 


Approximately 1 million Americans now live in recreational vehicles full-time. Many of these people are looking for some extra income or perhaps even a primary income.


That's where learning how to trade can come in to play.  Trading can bring you a substantial income and is of course ... location independent.  That makes it perfect for #vanlife .


Of course like any other skill it takes some time and some good tuition to learn to trade properly and to trade well.  But with the the Inteligex 5 step process the time from zero to profitable can often be really compressed.

One of the questions we are asked about trading is how much you can earn.  The best way to answer that is that you can earn very significant sums of money, but that you must achieve consistency with smaller sums first.  That is how you learn to trade with Inteligex.  Consistently.  We support you as you learn to trade in Simulation mode then move to micro e-minis before graduating to e-minis.  You learn how to achieve trading consistency by following the process.  It is not a hard process to learn and everything that you need for trading success is included with Inteligex. 


We offer a course, premium quality software (multi-award winning) and not just that but we show you live, every day, exactly how you can  trade the financial markets for profit.  We trade our own money live so that you can truly learn how we trade exactly how we achieve a win ratio of up to 80%.  Nothing is hidden in our results and actually many of our members outperform us.  Inteligex is a proven Trade Alert and Analysis tool which works on commodities, futures, forex, stocks and options.


#vanlife can be magical - and trading can be a wonderful part of the journey.  Soon we will show you that part of the journey also as we trade live from around the UK (and Europe once Covid ends) from our Mercedes van.  You don't have to live the #vanlife to trade for a living, but it really is possible.  In just an hour a day you can make what most people make in a days work. 

What our passion when living the #vanlife?  It's cycling. 

Mountain biking.

Road biking.


Or just plain cruising. 

#theCyclingTrader ... trade.  Cycle.  Eat.  Repeat.

You have one life.  Live it.
