Tax status

I exclusively trade futures on a short term basis.

Trading futures, you are marked to market at year end for tax purposes
regardless of whether or not you elect "trader status".

The biggest advantage of not making the trader status election is that 40%
of my gains are treated as long-term capital gains.
