Friends and Family account. My friend will give access to his computer with remote desktop (Windows 10 and 11 have this feature) so I can trade using TWS or another on his computer.
The $$ limit used to include yours. As for family, no problem. As for "friend"... you need to show an existing relationship... hang out, play sports with, attends your orgies... you know, something like that. Reference NFA/FINRA regs on this.
Well, you have a logistics concern... do you manage each individual account or are the funds comingled? Comingling customer funds is always a big issue/red flag to the regulators.... not to mention the admin paperwork.
If you're managing only one friend's account and he gives you power of attorney to do so, then you likely have no truck with the regulators. GL
