<< This is an excellent post, but I have a question for both you and the
group. One of the rules of trader status is frequency of trades and the
other is duration. Now I am a professional trader, that is what I do, but I
rarely make more than 2-4 trades a month and I generally hold for 4-7
days--thats it. To me (just my trading style group) being in the market is
the most risky element of trading, I get in and get out according to my
trading system.
The question is, is the government saying you have to be a commission
generator qualify as "trader" status. Why should it matter how often I
trade, or the duration of my trades. Warren Buffet doesn't trade that
frequently???
