    Why cant IB allow shorting of BTC futures with a margin requirement of 500-1000%?

    Robert Green CPA, can we make a three person trading outfit qualify for "carry interest" status?

    Not sure what you trade. I'm also a full time trader. We do get a tax benefit trading futures. Maybe not your cup of tea. Sometimes the benefit of being a great trader is having to pay taxes. If you have used Green than I'd be surprised if he hasn't already helped you to his fullest. Good luck.

    Quitting Trading Job at my Bank to Day Trade at Home

    A few questions if you have time.... Does your wife work? If yes how much of your monthly budget will her salary cover? How much do you have on hand to trade with? How much in addition do you have for an emergency fund? Have you signed a non-compete?
