    IB Data costs for Partnership - TOS/OptionHouse?

    If you are trading through an entity (as you are with your partnership) you are by default a "professional subscriber", and as such you must pay for data. This is an exchange rule.

    Forming Out of State LLC

    The default classification for a SMLLC is disregarded; no election is needed. Furthermore, an SMLLC does not determine whether or not you have a Schedule C, that is dependent on making an S election. Why am I posting here? Because I thought I would educate the uninformed. But if you want to...
