Of course I have power. I have power to route my order to any exchange I want.

You think? I'd definitely see it in IMAX if "Cramer/Clooney" was blown up at the end of the movie.

It is totally worth it if it means the bots can't frontrun your order. Of course, I'm not a huge fan of the bots and I would do anything in my power to screw them over.

Bitcoin has first mover advantage. Unless something else pops up, is clearly superior, and gets mass adoption, then Bitcoin is not going away anytime soon. Hopefully the Bitcoin community can agree to resolve most of these issues over time.

Once you enter a position, put a stop in and a target and wait until it hits one or the other. In the meantime, you can leave your trading desk and do other things. Getting away from your desk (or wherever you trade) forces you to keep your trade on until completion.

Good point, I should have tried ISLD instead. Will do that tomorrow.

You can have trader status without declaring mark-to-market.

Personally, I would never use market orders on many of the stocks I trade. You could have used market orders maybe a decade ago and you would do fine. But I am bewildered a lot of the time about how illiquid the market is and how wide the spreads are during supposedly high volume times of the...

Or just learn the tax code yourself.

Are you qualified as a "trader" in the eyes of the IRS? I.e., can you write off trading expenses due to your trading business (on Schedule C)? If so, then you can take the loss whenever you want and get the full benefit that year. However, if you don't qualify as a "trader" then your capital...
