    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    You are aware that DeFazio's proposal is in effect a 1% tax on a round turn transaction: .25% tax when you bought, .25% when seller sold it to you, .25% when you sold it, .25% when buyer bought it from you. With this current proposal, each side would pay the tax, not just you.

    Is IBFX (InterBankFX) a real ECN like IB IDEALPRO and HotSpotFX?

    Again, for those slow on the uptake, you are quoting interactivebrokers fees. OP asked about interbankfx (IBfx). The question again is: Is interbank fx an ecn or a dealing desk? based on their web page and choice of software, I am inclined to believe that they are a dealing desk broker.

    Is IBFX (InterBankFX) a real ECN like IB IDEALPRO and HotSpotFX?

    It was a rhetorical question concerning the IBfx business model, not InteractiveBrokers IdealPro. For those slow on the uptake, if you are not charged a commission and they make their profit in the difference in the spread, then they are manipulating the quote, which means they are not true ECN.

    Office Space

    If someone is renting desk space from you why do you care what they trade? Or rather, why are you restricting what someone can trade at desk space they are paying you money to rent? Or are you really just trolling for people to join your trading group?

    Network Attached Storage

    Try WHS. You can get an OEM disk for a little over 100 and use the old equipment you have lying around. Adding new drives are a snap too. It is the only OS Microsoft has come out with since DOS that actually does what it supposed to do without any major problems.

    And why should a company fly you out for an interview? They don't pay so they don't get to 2nd base with ya and you think they care? This generation's sense of entitlement is fucking amazing. There are tax deductions for the cost of securing employment which included travel and clothing and...

    Assent K-1/tax info problems?

    File the taxes with the estimated profits/losses from K-1. When receipt of the actual form, then file an amended 1040. It is not that hard and something that is done all the time. Even if you file an extension, you still got to pay the tax with the filing.

    all those traders who put up "$5000"

    For starters, MOST props will give you 20:1 leverage on your 5k. 100k buying is not that bad to start with. Only drawback is too much leverage vs risk deposit almost guarantees you will blow out your account.

    all those traders who put up "$5000"

    Good shops have the software with the risk controls to buffer any downside draft that a trader may experience. Hit a certain point and trades are closed and you are done for the day. Not sure which platforms offer it, but am familiar with the function in the laser management console. I do see...

    Job required to open brokerage account?

    The job requirement is a) to help decide your credit worthiness. But that does not hold much water if you are self-employed, which is one of the choices on just about every brokerage application b) helps with the proof of identity if ever needed, as required by the enhanced enforcement of...
