Just starting with the P/L posting. Will try to do it daily from now on (or at least fill in the blanks when days are missed). In general, I do not work on Fridays in order to spend time with my kids... 1/3 (5002.56) 1/4 612.72 1/7 6150.84 1/8 1074.26 1/9 974.50...

In fact it is hilarious looking at their website that someone else posted. The traders they show in those pictures - 1 was fired and the other 2 unceremoniously quit (again - so I heard). Even look at what they put forth as their proud "Cooper Neff Insight" magazine. The last issue was...

Anyone out there know what the breakeven cost is for emini futures for a company like Tradestation or IB - before salaries and other outside costs? In other words, what do they pay to the CME or related bodies versus what they keep for themselves (pay employees, rent, profit, etc.)

Tech Analysis -- Thank you for all your continuing help! OK. To follow up again. Yes. I already did elect MTM last year. So NOW do I get to take the full loss eventually? Thank you! I appreciate it!

OK. So say you are classified as a full-time trader then. Can you now deduct losses greater than $3000 going forward?
