Thanks for all the great suggestions. I was looking for something similar to SWVXX and didn't realize IB was currently paying 1.9% on cash...
Hi, Does anyone have recommendations on where I could park excess cash in my brokerage account, specifically at Ameritrade and Interactive...
Thanks, I purchased the Green Trader Tax guide for this purpose. However, it really comes up short on details. In general, all it says is: "In...
I figured I could do something like this, but ideally I'd like to move my Schedule D capital gains into Schedule C business profit so that I can...
Hi, I'm an active trader who fits all the requirements for filing with trading status, but have elected not to use the MTM election. Does this...
Still waiting for the punishment to fit the crime in these cases.
As I recall, the enforced limits are quite a bit more lenient than the published limits. You can grab more than 1 day of minute bars in a single...
Thanks for the offer. I'm not looking for help nor looking to share anything. I also don't use technical setups and not particularly interested in...

You have a very purist viewpoint. I think you're saying that trading is fundamentally difficult, which I'd agree with. It's a little off-topic...
The problem with P&D is that it doesn't scale well. It's also highly lucrative to the point where you wouldn't necessarily want to share that edge...
Notice I said personal portfolio, not necessarily the fund they manage. And I'd certainly lean towards activist investors. At a retail brokerage...
These guys have beat the market for years using controversial methods. I can't imagine that having access to their personal portfolio moves won't...
Just for argument's sake, do you think you'd have an edge if you had access to Carl Icahn's or Bill Ackman's personal portfolio? I don't think...
