The past couple of days, I haven’t traded anything. Not because the scanners were empty or not firing off any alerts, but because I found out that in order to claim your losses on your taxes from your day trades, you must first submit a form to the IRS the prior year you are claiming. Not very fair, especially when you start to trade in the middle of the year.
Now I’m not 100% sure of this crazy rule or how it actually works, but the little information that I did learn was that ;if I didn’t apply for a mark-to market form/application before April 2019, I could not use the mark to market status.
