    What does your broker currently report - 1099 to the IRS and your state? What will they require to alter the reporting? You might want to have a chat with them first.

    How much do the top ET traders make?

    I believe many of the top ETers have left over the years. We had folks here from a number of the larger HF's and FO's. Regulatory issues and the frequent toxicity of the sight.

    advice for equities startup

    S & P 500 ain't the Russell. Go price the baskets and you'll see a huge difference. Go and have your broker price out a $50 million basket in the S&P - open, midday and close and compare it to the same size, Russell. Pretty much every desk quotes it. The Russell frequently quotes 5 to 10X...

    Put Option Sweeps: Bearish, Bullish, or Other?

    There is just too much noise to tell much about the character. Can generate examples where those numbers in a vacuum could be bullish or bearish, was the trade tied to stock or part of a spread? OPRA would show both. Customer or firm? Again an OPRA designation. Married put would be a...
