The Future of Futures?

Quote from TraDaToR:

I used to tell people what I was doing for a living. But living in France, now I just say I am unemployed. People tend to be more respectful, I have more rights to express my opinion as a total peace of shit. I carefully select the times I wear decently and drive my car. Nobody here wants even a modest part of economic risk but they all want part of the fruits. It wouldn't shock me if people starts throwing molotov cocktail over my fence, I am the only one trading in my place.

PS: On the trading front, after a really crappy start in 2012, I am making decent money since september. I don't know if it is really activity coming back but I see improvement lately. I am just trading 250-400 lots per day, nothing crazy but profitability is back.

over here, you can file your taxes as "Professional Trader." At one time, when expenses were high it made sense, because you could write them all off. Now, if you are just a small independent, it is better to file as "Unemployed."

For one thing it is not that uncommon anymore for anybody in USA to be unemployed, so it doesn't raise any red flags if you are trying to get away with a little hanky panky.

otherwise, 250-400 lots of what? That sounds pretty crazy to me, unless you are talking about stocks, not futures.
