    Futures trading tax inquiry

    Hey -- thank you very much for your response. And yes, I do clear through Advantage. Let's say my charting fees over 12 months are 500 dollars. What kind of records of that do I need? Can I deduct that w/o records? Where can I find the info about the home office deduction for my monthly rent...

    Futures trading tax inquiry

    Hello My background: I have been trading futures independently since April. My broker automatically keeps my trading expenses (front-end monthly fee) in a separate account to make it easy to deduct. I am wondering what else you independant futures traders are deducting from your income. I...

    Looking for a better noney tree

    I searched on Eurex's website, and wasn't certain about my findings on their fees. I am wondering if anyone can share what the fees are for dax, eurostoxx and bund futures (without any broker commissions, just what Eurex charges). Thanks

    Bell Curve Trading?

    I went to one of their presentations a little over one year ago. I got one thing out of it: How to know the target of an extension when looking at a market profile. If the POC is 106-30 (for ZN), and the low is 106 19, and the high is 107 03, then add the difference between the low and the POC...

    Gay marriage and polygamy

    Did I just read someone comparing what Hitler did to gay marriage?? Yes, I did. OK, we all have opinions and our own perception. I believe that a lot of straight men don't fundamentally understand gay males, at least their sexuality. Gay males feel the sexual feeling for other men just...

    It is IMPOSSIBLE to make money in the markets

    I do not understand how someone can make money trading by having the belief stated in the forum title. I suggest for traders to get to know their markets really well (why I like futures -- I can focus on only a couple of markets, at least for now), read Mind Over Markets, focus on having a...

    Bond rally nearing an end?

    FYI, throughout this week's rally, open interest in ZNU6 has decreased between 150,000 and 200,000 contracts. To me that is people taking shorts off the table until they see CPI and also what Bernanke says. ZN definitely feels strong now, but that could change very quickly on wednesday, we...
