If you've elected to report forex trading under Section 988, then you can import the data from your broker directly into TurboTax with a program such as GainsKeeper. Otherwise, you can enter the information manually into TurboTax as Miscellaneous Income. The software will ask you to input all income, including ordinary wages, interest, dividends and money earned under the category of "Less Common Income." For forex trading, you select the last category, and then select "Miscellaneous Income," and from the list of sources, select "Other Reportable Income." You then enter the description "IRC 988" and the net amount, either a positive number for your gain or a negative number for your losses.

Your article above is so tru…. BUT, you missed out on the “Grey” area…and that is creating/developing trading “Bots” that are not 100% automated… but take control of a trade once you set it in motion… Unfortunately, I have nearly killed myself trying to program the “perfect” EA and I have now realized that… I’d actually rather trade than continuously keep tweaking and changing my algorithm…

Aside from cost and sign-up bonuses, the technical elements offered by each software must be considered thoroughly. For instance, what technical indicators are built into the software? If you are a technical trader, meaning you use price-derived formulas to make actionable decisions, then having a modest set of technical indicators will play an important role in your ability to consistently follow trading rules over the long term. Most Forex trading software like MT4 and FXCM’s proprietary platform have built-in standard and custom indicators like Bollinger Bands, Moving Averages, and Stochastics. Advanced traders can even upload custom indicators they’ve made or sourced from the online community.
If you are trading with a reputable broker, the chances that you are on MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 are pretty high. If you are on this platform and you are looking for an advanced charting solution - you should look no further. MetaTrader platforms are great because they are available with a great number of indicators attached to them, along with a lot of time frames for your analysis. What's more, customising your charts' look and adding your own indicators is simple to do.

The situation with this broker is extremely deplorable, the reason for this - the manifestation of all signs of the scam and the fact that the company ceases to exist. Unfortunately, in order to understand this, I had to catch myself on their bait, although until February 2016 I had no problems with him. I apologize in advance for all the screenshots in Russian, they confirm all my words with answers in the Skype chat.
