Is it dangerous not to specify that you are employed in your broker account?

  1. No. I would rather not. However, this is pretty standard procedure and I suspect applies to most banks that trade. Working for an employer that trades always comes with restrictions on your own trading. It's just the way it is

    I think this is the modern day equivalent of the barber shop, plus we can do our day job on the side!

    Need a checker board.
    Wonder if Baron could somehow or the other embed a small chess or checkerboard that 2 members could go head to head on real time for all the world to see... there'd be a line to play...kinda like setting your quarters on a pool table. Actually that would be pretty fun to watch whilst waiting for the next trade set-up.

    Only if you stated that you are a non US resident/citizen or specified that they withhold them.

    True, Speedo,not that unemployed is anywhere near self employed+ its a shame they had to pass a bill the size of Dodd-Frank to stop banks [maybe,LOL] from risking taxpayer$ back up for insane leverage .I see AIG Greenburg agrees to return a fraud based multi-million bonus, on AIG fraud+ pay NY AG $9,000,000 fine[FOX Business FEB,2017]

  9. US SSN or US tax ID and US address is required to avoid tax withholding.
