2 Things....First, Hitman...I was not trying to categorize any firm...just typing as names came to mind....and I think we are all proud of our...
That would be "showboating' and really troublesome legally. We have Million/year traders, let's just leave it at that. I like where you're...
My brother and I just can't get over the fact that you "east coast types" actually leave the trading floor to go to lunch...I guess that is why I...

Gene already answered this question correctly, but neglected to mention why we rarely (extremely rarely) use stop orders to begin with. In the...
Again, anything (even a "dba" will work). You can schedule C your profits, deduct your "payouts" to the people who loaned you money, and pay tax...
