If I had to pick ONE city from this list for you?
Valencia.
Safe. Warm. Affordable. Beach in 10 minutes. Turia Gardens for the kids. Paella for dinner. Spain's best parental leave. Growing tech scene. International schools at every level.
Not glamorous enough to be overrun. Not obscure enough to lack infrastructure.
But since I'm Italian, personally? I'd take Genoa.
Valencia is amazing for many. Genoa is the one that speaks to me.
Of course, three important rules before relocating with your family:
1. Visit in WINTER with your kids. If it works in February, it works all year.
2. Talk to parents already there. Not bloggers. Not influencers. Parents.
3. Facebook groups. School WhatsApp chats. That's where the truth lives.
Easter lunch with the family got me thinking.
Most people default to London, Barcelona, or Amsterdam for their kids. Great cities. Also: €2,500/month for a 3BR in Amsterdam. £15K/year school fees in London. Per child.
A friend of mine, well-known author, just moved his family from Lisbon to Genoa. Nobody saw that coming. His reason: the food, the proximity to France, one of Europe's best pediatric hospitals.
That conversation sent me down a rabbit hole.
7 cities where your family will actually thrive, usually not that considered, that I'd opt in for myself.

What do you think is happening, when the largest market cap in the world (gold at 36T) is trading like a penny stock?
Silver moving into the number two spot is also crazy.

Hello new trader
Is it your first year trading?
Ok cool, you’re about to get fucked and get fucked again and lose a lot of money and not figure out shit for 2-3 years
Good luck
Just secured my 4th @MyFundedFutures payout 💰
After 11,000+ hours of screen time, I'm not just part of the 7% who get paid I'm part of the even smaller group that have done it 4 times.
93% never see a dime. 60% blow their accounts. And here I am, payout #4.
11,000 hours of:
* Years wasted chasing fake gurus
*Finally finding @Matthewwmickey1 Bootcamp 4 months ago
*Landing in @AC_Trades Wolfpack forever home
*Studying charts, backtesting, staying disciplined with learning and showing up daily.
The right mentors change everything. These last 4 months proved it with every single passed Eval and payout.
Worth every single hour? Absolutely.
Been playing with this concept. Idk if any significance. 🤷♂️

I'm slowly rolling out discord access. I've had a hard time keeping up with everyone who has asked. Trying to focus on getting traders to be self sufficient and read exposures for themselves.
I'm screening people so it doesnt get unmanageable respond here if you wanted access.
@TailThatWagsDog Whereas GEX by volume provides a great insight for market sentiment GEX by OI levels are naturally S/R levels revealing large positions
In a continuing effort to show you guys that you can get a lot of key information out of your trading platform ... download the GEX data from Thinkorswim's options chain for tomorrow's Weekly (1DTE). (See image below.)
Then, within your spreadsheet ... just sum up the call GEX and put GEX ... for both GEX by Open Interest (OI) and GEX by Volume.
Here's what you'll get:
GEX by OI - NEGATIVE
GEX by Volume - Roughly ZERO.
What's that mean?
1. When we are below the zero gamma (aka flip point) puts are in control of the market.
2. Generally, negative GEX makes for more volatile price moves ... in either direction.
3. It's easier to start a selloff and while market makers delta hedge their positions, retail typically doesn't. (See my earlier tweet for context.)
4. In a zero gamma environment, dealer influence on price will be at a minimum, as they chase the market up and sell the market down ... AND volatility-of-volatility will be at a relative maximum.
5. In a zero gamma environment, one week returns have been shown to be frequently negative.
6. In the event of a market-perceived negative event, dealers compensatory selling will create more volatility and VIX will go up.
This sum ... this GEX/Volume and/or GEX/Open Interest metric ... tells you more about future price variance than anything, since it's telling you about flows that *must* show up. GEX should be, as @SqueezeMetrics has often said, "... best thought of as a measure of instantaneous volatility."
In summary and considering my earlier post on tail risk, our market is currently very FRAGILE with dealers short gamma in 0DTE SPX options. The risk that the dealer community's compensatory selling will create more volatility is high. Understand, however, these zero/negative GEX positions can go either way.
So be aware of the risks you have an edge in ... and those you don’t. Consider tail risk which can often be capped by buying OTM options and keeping position size relatively small.
