Trader963 "I GUESS IT WAS OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PERAL HARBOR" This would be a definite sign that you really do have your facts straight!...not to mention the spelling

A fellow trader recommended this when I told him that I seemed to miss important market moves whenever I leave my desk: http://www.stadiumpal.com/

Oh darn does that mean OVERtheLINE is not allowed to post his meaningless piffle on this thread?

Below are the facts I sent the IRS and the response I received. Not sure if it will help any but an lot depends upon whether your country has a tax treaty with the US. The issue is quite complicated and even after talking to revenue Canada, I could not get an answer. Get this..... they wanted...

Why don't those who are opposed to the practices and fees charged by the prop firms outline a plan that you think is fair: Should there be training and if so how much are you willing to pay? If it was your business how would you grow it? What is acceptable to you? How much would you...

All of the complaining and criticizing about this firm and that firm is beyond me. The failure rate of any small business last time I looked was well over 90%. The only thing I know for sure is that if you are not able to make a go of it as a full time trader there is nobody to blame but...

Check out the CCRA web site. The long and short of is it that I believe a speculator in futures is able to report all gains and losses as capital or as regular income. I don't think you can change reporting methods once you file your first return so talk with your accountant and give it some...

Actually, I would have to say that Redi has gone down less than 2 times in the last six months from where I am(Vancouver). Even then it's usually for a very brief time. But on the other hand we get a little more rain up here than many of our neighbors to the south. Would gladly trade a little...

I would agree with the theory that a strategy becomes either more difficult to implement or dissipates over time as more people start using the strategy. I trade pairs and would have to say that although I don't think the strategy will ever become obsolete (because the relationship between...

BigBear, It was I who made the comment. That's just the way I see it. You may not. However, while some people are spending their time trying to launch an assault on the competition, the rest of us are busy making money. Happy Competition Assaulting! :D DarynC
