You got it!!! I think the toughest part is overcoming the negative mind set that arises from such a situation. Its very easy to have negative expectations or just a fear based mentality after a big loss. Such projections will cloud your judgment and color situations. Its good to have a...

I may be incorrect and anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong. The LLC gets 4-1 buying power from whatever broker it has its account with. So if they have $100,000 in the account, they have a total of $400,000 BP. A trader who is trading with them gives them 5k as a capital contribution...

Just curious for those of you that trade through an LLC or Prop. First, are there any Prop firms that cover interest on overnights? Second, if your trading through an LLC, does your LLC cover these charges or pass them along to the trader?

Does anyone know if you can offset a loss on a k-1 (schd d) from a gain on a 1099-misc?? How would this work?

Salvia, stick with your stops. If your stop includes a time factor then honor it.

Salvia I was looking at the same trendline along with intraday fibs. Im Short 56.25, in a little to soon but as you said, as long as resistance holds should be good. Though the longer it takes to come in, the lower the probability of it happening.

First off I would suggest going to an accountant. That being said. You can carry what ever net capital loss you have forward. You can only however deduct 3k of it from your earned income each year. So if you lost 10k (net from k-1's and stocks). 3k is written off and 7k carries forward...
