I understand what running a fund does for your income but I just assumed that maybe some would trade there own account in order to not have to answer to investors when things go bad. I mean after I collected 100 mil in fees I could really just close the fund and run that 100 mil privately. I...

I meant 100% off of the returns.

I understand the rationale for going to OPM but you would think that there would be some skilled trader that would feel more comfortable trading his own account rather playing with others money. You would think some of the hedge fund guys would quit after he got his millions in fee's and just...

You've made millions in this market? whats your trading time frame?

I see a lot of people refuting the "it can't be done" arguement, but where are these people? Is it impossible to trade retail and make millions? Once again people like jesse livermore traded in offices off of the nyse and still made a great deal of money using not much more than chalk boards and...

I have a position I want to hold on to and I don't want to get out of it right now but soon the contract is going to expire. will it automatically switch over to the new contract? will I lose money in the process? Do I have to do it manually?

I wasn't given the opinion to opt out. I got a letter with my card stating it was mandatory. my other account is still basic log in though.

Was tws encountering security isssues? were people hacking other peoples accounts or something like that. There new system is more intricate than logging into your own bank account.

I created a new account at TWS and now they have some new security system, so before loging in you now have some code card you have to use to find the code to log in with. in my opinion its annoying. I see that the card has a bar code so hopely we may be able to swipe it soon instead of...

I trade futures but not exclusively. And ira limits are too small for my account. Guess I'll just have to suck it up like dude above me says. atleast paying a lot of taxes mean I made a lot of money...

I've done the search but still can't get a good idea of whats the best tax structure to trade under. I'm mostly concerned with saving profits from taxes. I've read that just trading as personal capital gains is the best solution but 28% and up is pretty heavy. do the other entities not offer a...
