Jayford, I use the stand along version as well but I did upgrade to version 867.4 this morning before market opened. I also run two charting packages (MultiCharts & Ensign) plus ButtonTrader, all of which use the IB API for data feeds. I've used Ensign+IB+BT for over a year now with no...

IB froze on me four times today with question marks in the quote window. Two times this afternoon the market gapped down 4 pts on ER2 by the time IB recovered. How did TradeStation, Esignal, IQFeed, OpenTick and other providers/platforms hold up? I used to be a TS customer and would...

Agree, a home office is right up there in the top 20 IRS flags. It's not worth the potential IRS audit if you're trying save a few pennies.

Agree optioncoach, just play it safe with the IRS. I've seen both contracting and officer draws pass the IRS test but remember pigs get slaughtered.

Here's something to consider to help minimize and/or avoid double taxation issues with a corporation: 1. C corp: Contract yourself out to the corporation. All income passes through the corporation directly to you. This will limit corporate taxes but you're still responsible for personal...

That reminds me of the hotel I stayed at in Lagos, Nigeria. That was one rough trip.

lol, my 19yr old daughter had a blond moment with that one. Not only did she think Ford was CEO of F she even questioned why a Lincoln was being used to move the casket. It was great!

I appreciate the response but most sites don't get into the issues of trading futures against an IRA account. I understand how IRA accounts work but I'm ignorant on their use in trading futures. The research on ET and other sites deal more with trading securities, not futures. Thanks again...

I have an old/dormant SEP IRA account that I would like to rollover to IB and use for daytrading futures. I understand IB's IRA account requirements and futures day trading rules but how are profits/losses managed? Can I combine my current IB account with the IRA account or will they need to...

You didn't rollover your contract today. The front month is now March 07 and the symbol is ER2 H7.

I'm looking at the Multichart/OpenTick combination and would like some feedback on the quality and reliability of OpenTick's realtime data feed. I've seen several references on ET but nothing really conclusive. Thanks, mtwokay

Stop it with all the NQ hype! You're attracting all the ER2 players and I'm left trading against myself, or......maybe it's time for me to make the jump. I've spent so much time on ER2 I almost feel guilty jumping over to NQ. I don't know if it's me or the market but the nature of ER2 seems...
