I'm no tax expert aside from being a tax payer but I know you can't pay all your tax at the end of the year. You're required to make estimated tax payments throughout the year, just like your employer does monthly withholding. BTW unless you're making steady money day trading already I...

Depends on if it's long or short term cap gains. Day trading is short term which is taxed just like regular income.

Heard? Links or it didn't happen.

I'll bet #1 is where I get to add forum sections like "religion and spirituality" to an ignore list. That way I don't have to see the new posts there when I click the "New Posts" button.

I messed with earnings straddles for a while and found Optionslam to be very helpful. Keep in mind that the IV for stock options reflect the market's perception of future price movement. If the market expects a big move the options are expensive, if a small move then the options are cheap...

Physical US currency in the form of paper "greenbacks" is the single most liquid, anonymous means of conducting criminal activity. Not just in the US but world-wide. Bitcoin is chump change in comparison.

I don't fear death as much as I do prolonged suffering and/or loss of cognitive ability.

LOL you talk just like Eugene on The Walking Dead

"Forex brokers hate this one weird trick!" If I didn't have a conscience I'd be selling snake oil in the retail forex sector.

LOL it's very, very safe. You end up in a position where you're essentially flat.

Back in the 80's an old buddy of mine fulfilled his dream of getting a private pilot's license and owning his own plane. After flying regularly for a few years he got married, had kids, and that poor plane sat and sat (and sat) for decades at his airport. It's kind of like the old joke about...

If this is a business start-up situation you might consider finding a biz partner who is a software designer. Even when the software is "done" you'll still need someone to maintain the software and add features. Going out to the software marketplace every time you need a change/fix is very...

Um that's a misquote. They were talking about "T+3 settlement cycle" not serving the interests of the american people, not retail traders.

The zip file contains an ex4 file which is the compiled output of compiling an mq4 source file. He's hiding his "secret" whatever it is. LOL I just did some googling of "pz goldfinch ea". It's been buzzing around for years on click-bait sites.

...and no source code. I left ForexFactory to avoid such things.

Meh. So what if they do? There's nothing new under the sun. I read an article in SeekingAlpha that gets my interest, code it up, backtest and find it interesting. All it does for me is simplify executing a system. No magical secrets involved.

You're wrong, you are actually using margin when you're shorting options. BTW naked strangles are insane.

Something else to consider is the nature of the work. There are tons of software jobs in the DC area (where I live/work) all in support of government/defense programs. Those jobs can't be filled with foreigners (US citizen requirement) and command among the highest salaries in the US. Software...
