I came across a forum or chatroom where traders of stockmarket/futures market were exchanging knowledge. It was discussing backtesting system, softwares at that time. However, I am unable to find that address again. I recall that the address had the words roundtable or knights. Pse help.

I am new to future options trading and I was just wondering if future options are settled the same way as equity options at expiration. For example I sell 3 12,000 SPM8 Calls that expire in a month. Do the options expire worthless on expiration day as long as the future price is under 12,000?
Thank you.

I have been trading stocks since January 08 and this will be my first year filing a schedule D form. My stupid self did not know about wash sales until a few months after starting to trade stocks and I’m scared to death about filing my taxes this year. The brokers I have dealth with this year are ETrade and Think or Swim. Any information would be great.

By the way, I have also traded futures this year, which to my understanding, you don’t have to list all trades on the schedule D, or worry about wash sales, Right?
