Quote from Mom0/pH0x: i don't have a problem with incarcerating people either BUT when you do more of it than anyone else in the world your claim to "the land of the free" moniker kind of evaporates if you ask me... I hear ya. Just to go further...I think I've made the case far more people are incarcerated than those who are officially behind bars. The U.S. was such a great country. So sad.

Quote from traderNik: The ignore function is the only thing that makes this place tolerable. Why in the hell would I want to waste my time processing garbage like this (below)? It's not a matter of discipline, it's a matter of eliminating what you know to be garbage before it gets ingested. I have to agree with this post. There are far too many losing traders on ET to allow each one access to successful traders. There is a reason...

Quote from craig: What do you consider to be a "serious trading edge"? Positive expectancy - you have a profit factor that, after all trading costs are factored in, is reasonably above 1.0. If it doesn't make money, it is not an edge. Are you referring to a certain % win rate? Or could a system that had a 55% win rate but whose winners were much larger than the losers be considered in YOUR interpretation of an edge? Win% is...

Quote from cactus_trader: Hong Kong has it. Russia, too.

I did the cold call thing in a different inductry one time on a summer job and sweared I would never do it again. I would seriously prefer being a manual worker than that...Am I weird? Yes you are.....if you can make a lot of money doing it then do it.

Quote from leela: If you can get a second passport from another country, always register your foreign employment, income and assets using the other passport while leaving aboard. That is what I would do. I am trying to get another passpost that is not too hard to get. Any suggestions? around 1994 people can buy russian passport cheaply, do not about it for now.

Quote from SuperVolatility: US is the best place to be as far as taxes...if you can manage your money right ... [...] I am not advocating tax evasion but rather tax avoidance. Let's say I have $1m in short term capital gains in a given tax year. How do you "manage" these taxes in the US to become significantly lower. As far as I understand the US taxes short term capital gains as ordinary income, i.e. according to the income...

Quote from Bob111: imo-not going to work,if you trade US market from your personal accounts(might work for your corporation offshore) http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc851.html http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small...d=96493,00.html As long as you can still be classified as a nonresident alien, the IRS says you're in the clear: "Even if you meet the substantial presence test, you can be treated as a nonresident alien if you are present...

Last I know of...Valez Capital was into that sort of trading...but they let you use Oliver's money.
