    Tax form entry for Futures / Options trading

    OK, so I see I can use IRS form 6781 to report the gain / loss on futures contracts. My main question now is if I can report gain / loss on options trades as one entry, or if I need to line item each trade. As far as capital gains go, are options and equities taxed at the same rate...

    Tax form entry for Futures / Options trading

    I trade futures and options exclusively at different brokers. The futures broker mailed a 1099B with a monthly P&L of all trades. The options broker mailed a trading summary with a total cost basis and proceeds. As I made at least 1000 trades last year, how will I enter these figures on the...

    IB TWS Exporting Trades Question

    IB Customer Service

    I did sign up for the IPE, but I still can't see the COIL symbol. I guess I'm not the only one frustrated about this. I do get the QM futures quote, but I wanted to see the CL index also. I guess I'm out of luck with IB on this issue. They're not all bad by any means, but improvement with...
