Also not sure if these take into account dividends recieved. Second would be selling puts would incur short term capital gain tax. If you held the index and reinvest dividend. You would find it far easier. Lazier. If I did. I would just sell calls. I speak from experience on ES.. not SPY...

I guess it doesn't.. my experience is in naked puts and put credit spread ( all credit plays ). make sense now?

hi guys I’m starting to get to the point of way more then I need to cover daily expenses. Wondering thoughts how I should reinvest the premium I took in? I was thinking just to set tax money aside for two and a half months on what I do ( credit spreads ) but the other money I’m trying to...

I read from ( green tax trader tax booklet 2018 ) top rate for 1256 contracts is 30.6%?? ( I'll cut and paste in a few ) so ok, 30.6 or 32%... do I just add the CA state tax to this, which say top is 13.1%. so do we arrive at a magic number of 43.1% for top bracket 1256 contracts for CA...

i use to live in WA. am in the process of trying to calculated top rate for 1256 contracts. I believe WA was 30.6%??? Does anyone know top tax rate for 1256 contracts for California residents? Just trying to get a calculation. Is it 30.6 plus their state of 13.3 for a total of 43.9%??? Just...

I thought poster wanted to know a little on futures options ( FOP ) so I included my take vs. "regular options" I don't require the smaller size and has nothing to do with that, I hate it and wish I could trade SPX for cheaper commissions.. they are better in my option as last when I traded...

here's my opinion.. I don't know why anyone would trade SPY with no tax advantage? SPX, I wouldn't trade, although it has 1256 tax advantage, and has some commissions savings ES, I would trade ES, tax advantage and higher premium then comparable SPX NDX, NDX is good short term as people...

So I was using the card and only needed it when I logged into computer. For my phone didn’t need it for some reason?? Not sure what I pressed but there is an authentication through the phone.I think once I enabled it. I got a message from them they wanted the card back or that fee... That’s my...

thank you Bob, I'm weary as I like to have a mobile app.. I was trained on mobile app as I was traveling around at the time, and seriously cannot even use IB on computer as there is too much going on, compared to the simplicity of an app... sounds stupid I know I still want to find some...

Hi Guys, thinking of switching over to someone else from IB.. in process of hitting 12k contracts a month, I mainly hit ES / NQ / some RTY looking for company who has: -good commissions ( believe IB is $1.42 a trade on FOP for me ) -mobile app ( I need, as I like hitting some options when...

I'm not sure why you guys are using the card.. use the phone app, much easier they requested mine back or a fee

the double dunce award.. I was completely unaware option had no borrow fees... apparently my account the way I looked at it was showing interest, and I took that to mean charges, not + interest ... and I was coming from another account borrowing so I just assumed options was the same, hahahaha

thank ya, hope you are able to make some money at open ??

Bob, apparently I'm a complete dunce!!! I went from naked so that really makes no sense to me why credit spreads would be different in margin expenses?? but I loaded up and as you stated I have zero fees for month to date interest !!! care to explain why that is? both are cancelling each other...

Robert, I've thought about it, but at IB, that's about three times less margin expense then another outfit.. also to some IB doesn't change closing out trades I believe which could then end up costing more in commissions, just depends how you play really with that I guess ( apparently green tax...

^ don't know what AH is, but lets look how far MSFT is up this year... anyone make any money off this?

hi guys, was asking this to some fellows, but seems got confused in translation.. I'm gonna try a simple approach but ..... -main goal: wanting to "lock" in available margin, mainly to "be smarter" selling and secondary to avoid exposure fees, and last to not go into a liquidation event...

sorry, Sell

don't fully agree with some of your comments.. they are willing to sell you 10% down put the same as they are 35% puts... it makes no difference to them, it's algorithms. if you have a offer between strikes or close to there ask, it's your's. another comment you made on increasing widths, one...
