  1. Does it make sense to trade under the protection of an LLC? Thanks for any input on this.

    Consult a professional accountant who helps traders like https://www.greentradertax.com/
    He would be able to tell you whether you can deduct the fees you anticipate to incur as a trader.
    I think that any account below $50K should be personal unless you have proven to have positive expectancy. Running an LLC does have costs.
     
  5. can you qualify as a day trader status with a personal trading account or do you need a registered business account ?
