looking for tax help in US for intra day trading.
Also do you suggest me to incorporate a LLC to trade?
If I submit my taxes over e-File - what do i need to do to inform IRS that I want to be a active trader.

Please use the existing Tax Thread here:



If you read that thread and watch the educational webinars on taxes and traders inside the thread, and still have questions, please post your question there and someone should help.

Mike

I am trying to learn ninja script but have a ways to go. I am looking for an indicator that plots pivot highs and pivot lows. I consider a pivot high a high with at least three lower highs before it and three lower highs after it and the opposite for pivot lows. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

I'd like to ask :

1) where (broker) can I trade BTC (BitCoin) futures and what is the necessary starting capital (margin) and required margin maintenance ? Every trade enters with 2 contracts (simultaneously) but with different targets. My platform is NinjaTrader 7 and I use for my trading (BTC futures) my fully automatic strategy (coded by me). This strategy is extremely profitable. I exclude NinjaTrader brokerage for other reasons.
2) Collective 2 demands $400K (!!!) for such a trade (I have written proofs about this demand). This is an astronomical margin. I dont know why these guys are doing this (BTW I have bad experience with these guys - they dont tell the truth).
3) Is there any other company (like Collective 2) via which I can do the above trading for BTC futures ?
4) I am a trader && Trading systems developer for more than 20 years.

Any reply will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Where can I download historical tick data for HSI? Just hoping for the last couple of weeks, or at least last week.

Alternatively, are there any data providers offering a free or inexpensive trial to HSI tick data?

You might also specifically ask in the main historical tick data thread, which has something like 20 years of tick data for many instruments:
