lescor,
First, house and cars = reward well deserved. Congratulation!
Two quick questions (a little off topic): 1) Does Echotrade take a percentage of your profits? (I thought I saw you mentioning somewhere about trading with Echo.) I am thinking about switching from retail to a Canadian prop firm. 2) What's the best way, in your opinion, to minimize taxes? Did you incorporate or simply choose to pay income tax rate from a more favourable province like Alberta? (If you find some question too personal, feel free to skip them.)
Good luck to you in 2012.
