Hi, I have recently started scalping. Obviously, I do a lot of trades, and I was wondering will I have to fill each of these trades in turbotax at the end of the year? Thats what I had to do last year, when I was using Scottrade and they sent me a paper statement. I am using IB as my broker...

Thanks, what do you think about MBT then? What is a good platform (cheap as well) for a beginner like me, who wants to slowly ramp up? Thanks again!

Hi, I am a beginner trader - I have traded mostly on scottrade for the last two years. I want to do some spread trades on options. Maybe like 5 contracts per month on SPY, I was looking at IB and they looked good. Question is - they keep saying they are for professional traders - which I...
