Hello everyone, I had a quick question. I SHOULD just go to a CPA and figure this out, but I wanna see what you guys have to say first. So I know that if your prop firm is an LLC (like mine) you will receive a Schedule k-1 from them. Do you have to file a schedule D 1040 on top of this...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if people have heard anything about CY Group (http://www.cygrouponline.com/). Theyre a subgroup of Gensis if I am not mistaken. Me and a few guys at my current prop firm are thinking about switching because we pay .01 in commish and if we move together we can get...

Where do you think I learned all of this ;D. No but really, that thread has single handedly taught me more about options trading than any book Ive ever read. I highly reccomend it to everyone. I read through it daily even though he doesnt post anymore. You learn more the second and third...

Ive been reading a lot of the options forums lately I just wanted to see if I was getting the right idea on spread strategy. Please forgive my ignorance if I overs simplify things and make sweeping generalizations. I understand that every trade has its caveats, but I'm trying to get the...

I was wondering if anyone knew of a website or broker that allows you to trade a demo stock option account without having to open a real account. I tried seraching for one on the web but I would get these random futures options sites. I guess I could just paper trade... in a notebook, but its...

How do you short THI? IPO's arent usually shortable. Although if you look at the WEN daily against THI theyve been trading together. I def saw people trading them together though. As THI was making new lows you could see people shorting WEN instead. I traded 100 shares of it today =)...

I think most people are just confused as to what they consdier "technical analysis." Its a pretty large grey area. This is the way I see it. I am one of the people that don't beleive in TA. But wait, what do I consider TA. To me TA is a anything else on a chart besides the prints. All the...

Hello everyone. I was just curious what methodology most scalpers use. Im not asking you to spill the trademark secrets, just an idea. Most scalpers that I have seen just use the box (open book or level 2) and try to front run for a nickel or a dime. I understand that of course its not just...
