    I am a US citizen but plan to live in Europe and travel around for a few years.

    I will not be living in any country more than 5 to 6 months, same with when I come back to States. I won't be living in any one state for more than a few months. How will my taxes work? Will I only pay federal taxes?

    If I elect myself as a Trader Tax Status, wash sales will be ok for 2018?

    Sorry about my bad English! I think I qualify as TTS. I have so far this year 600 trades. I am in the green, no losses so far. I have a lot of wash sales. If I elect TTS, the wash sales will not count for 2018? I do my taxes with Turbo tax. How would my broker know my TTS? Thanks

    What broker and trading platform allows you to easily see individual lots purchases on different sto

    They are not options. They are long/short equity trades. They told me I can write it under "notes" but I want the p/L calculated for me in real time.

    What broker and trading platform allows you to easily see individual lots purchases on different sto

    On Fidelity website, when you click on a position, you can choose "Purchse History/Lots". Under that, you see all your lots and different prices and up to the minute gains/losses. I didn't think it was a big deal, until I switched to a broker who didn't have this feature and it is really...

    IB uses average cost on their TWS, same with Schwab. It is only when you go to sell that you can click which lot to sell. I am looking at a platform to show me my different lots and how much I have lost or gained in different lots. Can anyone help? thanks!

    I realized it was too complicated to just set up the C corp in a no corporate tax state. I realize that the C corp will be giving me dividends and salary and I would then have to pay local income tax on it!

    Schwab's platform must be the worst in the industry.

    I just don't understand why it can't save the screen like a Google doc does? Every few seconds it refreshes and saves. I have forgotten to do it many times and I had to start from scratch. Real PITB

I have been trading with Fidelity Pro for about 6 months and just signed on Schwab to try them up a few weeks ago. I hate that you have to constantly save each screen and watch list and everything else... I hate...

    How can they get such good rating from Nerdwallet? It is truly a disaster. Nothing gets saved, they don't have previous day's P/L, slow execution, just horrible.
