Personally, do that too many times and you're bound to get bit real hard in the ass.  The gains are nice when it works, but it's supremely irresponsible trading.

From what I know, Asus makes very good monitors. I am 20 years old and have been trading for 2 years. Keeping an eye on your thread wink.gif.

Cubs, this is a very rookie question, but say you make (for examples $1,000 in a given day in options, and sell some of your position and take that $1,000 off the table. How much of that do you pay in taxes?

 

I ask because, WITH STOCKS, say for example you profit 1000$ and sell you pay 15% of your profit (which would be $150) in taxes.

 

Appreciate the help bro.
