Eric215,
I have resolved that I must open an offshore entity to accomplish this.
I am researching how to do this from the United States without travelling abroad to establish it. I do not know the cost and the mechanics to do it...but I will need Utility Bills and an address.
I am doing it this way as it seems to be the only legal way I can trade Forex with higher leverage and hedging, while residing in the USA. It seems that the rules actually state that if I reside in the USA that I cannot trade offshore...this offshore entity may not establish anything for Forex and this is what confuses me...
I will pay my taxes as I alway have done...this is not the issue. I pay them quarterly here in the USA...Its just that the CFTC/NFA/Dodd-Frank Act is making it very hard to get around the rules..
Eric...google this: "going offshore to escape the CFTC"
Hope this helps and if anybody can help me with the interpretation of the new rules I would very much appreciate it. Will an offshore entity permit me to trade Forex with dealers outside of the USA? Can someone refer me to a company that I can call to establish a legal way for me to form this entity, assuming it will accomplish my goal of legally trading with a dealer outside of the USA, while residing in the USA?
Maybe my proposed legal entity is considered a separate Juridical Person and it resides 360 days a year in the country it is formed in...I am looking for a low cost way to do this as my numbers are not in the millions yet. I currently am making an unbelievable ROI which is actually disgusting and I know it cannot continue...but I need this entity to be legal... I think... Help!
Is forming a legal entity just a one time cost or is there yearly renewal costs and such? I am thinking of the Cayman Islands. Is it unethical and a bad practice to discuss this on the internet? Again I am not evading taxes ...I am just looking to be legal as I do not want to worry about being made an example of or to be made a part of some sting operation. I think I am too little to bother with and to form this entity will represent a big cost to me right now (maybe not later if I keep trading as well as I do now).
Can somebody that can answer my questions please PM me...preferably someone who has an entity and can tell me what the cost and the process was.
