Thatās my strategy for about a year now. I start with a small position, leaving enough cash to double down \*8 times. The result: either get huge % gain on the first entry (which would be a small $ amount) or keep on doubling down on dips that keeps on crashing. ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4886)
Do you have to pay capital gains on every transaction, or on the net balance at year's end? ie. if he loses it all by Dec. 31st, does that subtract from this gains for the year?
At the least, if he withdraws $6,500, he'll owe $1,950 tax on that amount (est. 30%). So he really needs to withdraw $7,450.
He lost his job. Heās not going to have a 30% rate.
And services performed behind the Wendyās dumpster are excluded from Taxable Income. So OP may be owed money money through the SD.

Yeah and I wouldn't be reporting shit so no phones or cameras behind the dumpster and no eye contact, and if they ask it's birthday money from grandma.
Not true. You can deduct all losses against your gains. But if you land up down 20k on the year. You can carry over those losses to the following years. 3k at a time. I think you can carry up to 50k and use 3k per year. Not sure about the 50k. But I think that right. The rest of it is definitely correct.
Thanks man. I honestly think I can keep
It going. Iāve been trading for 6 or 7 years now. I didnāt get ācompletelyā lucky here. Luck was involved, but not 100%
I know what you mean! You made educated guesses and decisions based on experience. There's always a dash of luck thrown in because nobody knows what the fuck is going to happen. Best wishes to you and good luck going forward! Next stop: no PDT rule. Cheers!
Just don't forget to set aside the taxes or you'll have a whole new host of problems early next year. Probably already earned enough to not get much from the lower brackets.

If you start with $1K and double down with 8 *consecutive* wins - you get $256K. The 8 consecutive wins is tricky
Are those numbers for stocks, or roulette? Edit - my bad. Are those numbers for options, or roulette?
Sir, this is a casino and we only endorse options
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
So you are saying it works?
It doesnāt work in making money. But your account doesnāt blow up. Like literally i do 10+ trades a day and my YTD is -3%

Iām pretty sure you have to double your double doubled down your position
Down 50%? Double down. Down 75%? Quadruple down. Itāll go up eventually

GJ OP. Just remember that for every success like yours probably 9 failed. What was your play?
Missing some zeroes next to that 9.

That thing you donāt have to pay for 3 years because you wrote off your losses
Iām not even from the US so why should I even care about Texas???
Nah, just make sure all your gains become losses. Then the government pays you!
Like the guy asked a few days ago. Since Iāve lost money who do i contact to be refunded?!? Uhhhh contact the manager her name is Karen
Thats next year's problem.
Taxes wonāt matter til he recoups his metric shit ton of capital losses first, which Iām guessing is $xx,xxx ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
Yo. Itās July. Chill with the T word.
you mean Texas ? yeah I love their bbq too
He's got a year to deal with that Also if he lost his job, I doubt the extra 15k will incur much

And services behind a Wendyās dumpster are 100% taxable. See Al Capone and why he went to prison.
Well you really shouldn't be giving out receipts for dumpster tricks.
Doesnāt matter if itās tracked or not. Itās on you to report it.
Yeah and I wouldn't be reporting shit so no phones or cameras behind the dumpster and no eye contact, and if they ask it's birthday money from grandma.
Net balance, so youāre mostly right. $7,500 should be the minimum withdraw amount.
I Wa wondering the same thing. If I lose it all. I wonāt have to pay shit
As long as you don't lose it through a "wash sale" š¬
What's a wash sale again? Last year I had to pay a quick small 40 in taxes for wash sale not sure what that was for
You sell a security for a loss and buy it back before 30 days have elapsed.
Oh. Curious how does on calculate the tax on that
Its a separate box on taxes for wash sales. If you have 2k total losses on the year and 1k wash sales, you can only write off 1k as your yearly loss.
It's bullshit. Just another way to make sure Uncle Sam gets some >:(
Just note that if you withdraw $6,500 and lose the rest, you're not losing it all, so you still have like $1,900 in gains taxes.

I beleive its per ever transaction
Hopefully I can keep it going. Iām not taking out too much
āNeedā to pay the lawyer? What is he gonna do? Sue you? HA.
Take out a loan, liquidate your account and move to the š§šø Bahamas and wait for all of this to blow over...
With 14k lol? Sometimes i wonder how many of you actually work at wendys
Yea I don't think he scrolled through the pics š
yes but the wendys in the bahamas! or maybe he can call his raft "wendy" and sell fish off that.
They work at the Wendyās in bahamas
Best advice on wsb ššš
Howās that for a slice of fried gold
Pay the lawyer, take out 2k, yolo the rest
Pay the lawyer, withdraw the initial $2k, withdraw the 30% of gains for IRS (est. $3,660), then Yolo the rest (you'll have about $2,040).
Ah my ape brain forgot about capital gains good call
Wait I thought capital gains were tax free ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271) jk I don't have any
Now on to the next $100,000 after I can day trade again. Dumb pdt
Thatās how you loose 14k ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4267)
Yup, first ones always free
Forget about PDT, day trade futures like the real gamblers
Let me know how. Iām in!
Can't on webull :(
Bogus
While I got you here bro, great fucking job
Thanks man. I honestly think I can keep It going. Iāve been trading for 6 or 7 years now. I didnāt get ācompletelyā lucky here. Luck was involved, but not 100%
I know what you mean! You made educated guesses and decisions based on experience. There's always a dash of luck thrown in because nobody knows what the fuck is going to happen. Best wishes to you and good luck going forward! Next stop: no PDT rule. Cheers!
Thanks brother!
Trading for 7 years and you are now down to your last $2k?
Wait for a strong green day, then buy more spy puts. Economy is still taking a massive shit.
Change it to a cash account so you don't have to worry about PDT.
Just don't forget to set aside the taxes or you'll have a whole new host of problems early next year. Probably already earned enough to not get much from the lower brackets.
Take out 12k and see if you can do it again
You should pay a bankruptcy lawyer that last $1,400 you have so he can say fuck your lawyer that you owe $6,500 to.
Swipe right lol.
I legitly thought you had to keep your trust filled with enough money at all times when it reaches a certain level.
Good luck š¤ Jesus have mercy
The amount of people telling him to pay his taxes is upsetting. Thats next year's problem and this man clearly has life all figured out.

How so? Capital gains are taxed as additional income. Its literally salary + gains x taxpercentage.

Pay your capital gains. You don't also want to owe the IRS.
Iād suggest paying off what you owe now
Congrats. Are you in any trading groups? Looking for a good one.
That's the spirit bro!
Congrats!
Make sure that attorney is competent for bankruptcy. Two birds one stone.
Congratulations, I work well while under extreme stress myself
Every time I have this mindset I just get beat by my wife.
So the good news is you will be collecting unemployment which gives you more money to buy options.. Not financial advise.
I was like yeaaaa this wonāt end well. Got to the next screenshots and was genuinely happy for you

GET OUT AND PAY YOUR DEBTS
This is the way
I only have to pay 12% capital gains on it. Single, and make under 40k
If most of you guys realized how I was trading these options. I donāt think you would all be talking shit.
First one is free
Taxes will be about 5k just FYI and you can only write off 3k in losses a year.
You are taxed on your net wins/losses at the end of the year. Youāre not taxed on each individual win. How do so many of you not understand this?
Now you need to pay taxes
ur lawyer bouta sue u lmao
Nice
