How To: Avoid paying Taxes on my Trading Gains?***Make sure to read this through. At the bottom is an email you can fire off to your CPA as well as your funded broker with the right questions to get you started*** In the video above I gave you the thought process and questions that come to me from many people weekly. I want to share with you guys a method you can use which depends fully on weather its availble by your broker or not. The Issue: I am getting payouts from my broker but I dont want to pay taxes on it. What do i do? The Answer: There is no way to AVOID paying taxes but There are some questions you need to ask both your Broker where you have or will have your funded account, as well as ask your CPA if you are using one, which will or will not allow you to move your "GAINS" directly into an investment account without paying an INCOME tax. Bare in mind, the bottom line is that if its possible for you to do this, youll most likely need to set yourself up an an 'entity' like an LLC or an S-Corp. ----------------------------------------- Can you trade through TradingView using a funded account? Yes. Most prop firms (like Apex, My Funded Futures, etc.) allow access to TradingView via third-party routing systems like Rithmic, CQG, or Tradovate. Can you send trading profits directly into an investment account (e.g., with Fidelity or First Fidelity Trust)? Not directly. Most prop firms pay out to you personally via: ACH / PayPal / Wire The payout is treated as income, not capital gains — you’re usually issued a 1099. So short-term capital gains don’t apply here — it’s contractor income. Can you route those funds into an investment or retirement account? Only indirectly, if you: Set up a legal entity (LLC/S-Corp) Prop firm allows payouts to that entity Entity sends funds to a brokerage or retirement account This gives you: Tax management options Ability to fund SEP IRAs, Solo 401ks, or other investment vehicles Business deductions and better income structuring Important: Not all prop firms support this. You must ask. What happens if you just take the payout personally? You’ll owe taxes on the income that year. If it's a large amount and you're not using any tax strategy, this can be a big hit — and you won’t be putting that money to work in a retirement account, which could have deferred or reduced the tax burden. Why do traders want to route funds into investment accounts? To defer taxes To compound gains in tax-advantaged environments To avoid having income hit their personal checking and be immediately taxed without structure To separate business income from personal finances. Who should you talk to? A CPA who understands prop firm payouts + entity structuring The prop firm support team Your investment account provider (e.g., Fidelity, First Fidelity Trust) If You’re Using Your Own Capital (Not Prop Firm Capital) When you're trading from a cash account funded with your own post-tax money (like a personal account at Tradestation, Fidelity, Interactive Brokers, etc.), you're in a completely different tax situation compared to a funded prop account. Im trading with a CASH ACCOUNT and this money was already taxed. Why am i paying more tax? 1. You’re Right: That Money Was Already Taxed If you earned money through a job, business, crypto sale, whatever — and then you funded your trading account with it — yes, that money has already been taxed as income, capital gains, or whatever the original source required. But… 2. Trading Gains Are Still Taxable — Separately Once that taxed money is used to generate more money via trading, those gains are now a new taxable event. Here's why: The IRS doesn’t look at “double taxation” in terms of the original dollar — it taxes the gain on that dollar. For example: You fund your account with $10,000 (already taxed) You trade it up to $15,000 You now owe taxes on the $5,000 gain, not the $10,000 you started with So no, you're not being taxed twice on the same dollar — you're being taxed on new earnings generated from that dollar. 3. Type of Tax Depends on Holding Period Day Trading / Short-Term (< 1 year): Taxed as ordinary income, same as your paycheck (could be 10–37%) Long-Term Gains (1+ year): Taxed at long-term capital gains rates (typically 0%, 15%, or 20%) This only applies if you’re not trading inside a retirement account (IRA, 401k, etc.). So What’s the Advantage in Routing Gains Into an Investment Account? This is where people try to get clever.They want to avoid realizing gains in their personal account because: It may bump them into a higher tax bracket It may trigger estimated tax payments It might disqualify them from certain tax credits So the idea is: “Can I send the profits somewhere else (like an IRA, trust, or investment vehicle) so I don’t get taxed now?” Answer: Only if the gains were made inside that tax-advantaged account to begin with. You can't trade in a regular brokerage account and then “move” those gains into an IRA to defer tax. That’s not how tax shelters work — they only protect gains earned inside them. Does Being Self-Funded Change the Tax Situation? Scenario = You fund trading with post-tax dollars ---- Not taxed again on that base Scenario = You generate gains from trading ---- Yes, new taxes on new profits Scenario = You want to avoid immediate taxation ---- Can't defer taxes just by moving profits Scenario = You trade inside an IRA/401k ---- Gains tax-deferred or tax-free Scenario = You trade through a prop firm ---- Income tax, no capital gains involved ----------Here is an email to get you started. Send this to your CPA and your Funded account broker---------- Questions to Ask Your Prop Firm (If Using Funded Accounts) Do you allow payouts to a legal entity (LLC or S-Corp)? Can payouts be directed to an investment firm or custodian? Can the account be held in my entity’s name? Do you issue 1099s for entity payouts, or only for individuals? Are there limits or fees for routing payouts to a business or trust account?

An Internet Disaster - NET & GOOGL FallAs of Thursday, June 12, 2025, a significant internet outage has disrupted services across multiple major platforms, including Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Spotify, YouTube, Discord, and Shopify. Cloudflare acknowledged experiencing intermittent failures and noted that some services were beginning to recover, though users may continue to encounter errors as systems stabilize. The root cause of the disruption has been identified as an issue with Google Cloud's Identity and Access Management (IAM) service, which affected various services globally. While Cloudflare's core services were not directly impacted, some of its services relying on Google Cloud experienced issues. Imagine how far Net could've fallen if IGV / Cloud stocks weren't strong today.

GBPUSDGBP/USD: 10-Year Bond Yield, Interest Rate, Interest Rate Differential, and Upcoming Economic Data (June 2025) 1. Bank of England (BoE) Interest Rate and 10-Year Bond Yield Current BoE Base Interest Rate: 4.25% as of May 2025, following a 25 basis point cut from 4.50%. This marked the fourth rate cut since August 2024 amid easing inflation and slowing UK economic growth. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted 5–4 in favor of the cut, with some members preferring a larger cut and others favoring holding rates steady. UK 10-Year Government Bond Yield: As of early June 2025, UK 10-year gilt yields have been fluctuating around 4.47% to 4.8%, influenced by global risk sentiment, inflation expectations, and BoE policy signals. Yields have generally trended lower due to expectations of further BoE rate cuts and global economic uncertainties. 2. Upcoming Economic Data for GBP/USD Next BoE Interest Rate Decision: Scheduled for Thursday, June 19, 2025, at 11:00 UTC. Markets expect the BoE to hold rates at 4.25%, but some analysts anticipate further cuts later in 2025 due to slowing growth and easing inflation pressures. The MPC has emphasized a cautious, data-dependent approach amid global trade tensions and domestic economic uncertainties. Key UK Economic Indicators to Watch: UK CPI Inflation: Inflation has eased to around 3.5% in April 2025 but remains above the 2% target; future prints will guide BoE policy. GDP Growth: UK growth has slowed since mid-2024, with risks from global trade tensions and Brexit-related adjustments. Labour Market Data: Loosening labor market conditions and wage growth trends will influence the BoE’s rate path. Trade and Tariff Developments: US tariff policies and potential UK-US trade deal announcements could impact market sentiment and currency flows. Outlook The GBP/USD pair is influenced by the interest rate and yield differentials, with the USD currently benefiting from higher yields and a more hawkish Fed stance. The BoE’s cautious approach and expectations of gradual rate cuts amid slowing growth may limit GBP upside in the near term. Upcoming UK inflation and labor data, along with the June 19 BoE meeting, will be critical for market direction. #gbpusd

EOSE Risks to Monitor🎯 Master Pattern Structure (daily → intraday) Consolidation Phase The stock has been range‑bound around the $4.00–$4.30 level over past days, with declining volume—classic base/range building. The setup aligns well with a textbook master pattern: base → liquidity grab → early breakout. Trend confirmation depends on holding key levels and volume surging north. Keep your stops tight and targets clearly defined. | Stage | Status | | ------------- | ------------------------- | | Consolidation | ✔ In place | | Sweep | ✔ Likely occurred June 11 | | Expansion | ↗ Entry forming today | Liquidity Sweep (False Breakout) On June 11, EOSE “fell below its 200‑day MA (~$4.08) on lower volume”—likely a shake‑out of weak hands . This aligns with a classic liquidity grab phase. Expansion Phase Potential Late today, price rebounded into the $4.20–$4.28 range on above‑average intraday volume (7.9 M vs avg ~11 M) . That bounce—holding above pivot levels—can be the triggering expansion. 📊 Technical Indicators Snapshot (per Investing.com, as of June 12) Daily Summary: Mixed to bullish—“Technical Indicators” show a Strong Buy bias, while Moving Averages are neutral (6 buy / 6 sell) RSI (~54): Neutral, no clear overbought/oversold. MACD (~0.05): Slightly bullish. Stochastics: Overbought/slightly elevated—watch for pullback. 200‑day MA (~$5.38) & 100‑day (~$4.57) acting as resistance caps 📈 Entry & Targets Intraday Entry Zone: $4.20–$4.25 — ideally on a pullback after current bounce. Near-Term Target: $4.30–$4.40 (yesterday’s range top) — aligns with short‑term pivot R1. Stretch Target: $4.57–$5.00 if momentum holds and it reclaims the 100‑DMA. Stop Placement: Just below the recent sweep low at $3.88–$4.00. ⚠️ Risks to Monitor Failing to hold $4.20 could indicate a false breakout and trigger retest of range bottom (~$3.75). 200‑day MA (~$5.38) remains a strong resistance barrier—momentum will likely fade unless the stock re-enters a sustained uptrend. Broader market sentiment or sector-specific news (ESG/energy storage) could influence price sharply.

USDJPY Over the past year, the yen has appreciated significantly against the dollar. Interest Rate Decisions Federal Reserve (Fed): The Fed’s policy rate remains at 4.25–4.50%, with markets increasingly expecting a rate cut as US inflation data cools and labor market data softens. Bank of Japan (BoJ): The BoJ’s short-term policy rate is set at 0.5% (unchanged since March 2025), and the central bank continues a cautious approach, with no recent hikes or major policy shifts. 10-Year Government Bond Yields US 10-Year Treasury Yield: Recently declined to around 4.348% after softer US inflation data, reflecting expectations of Fed easing. Japan 10-Year Government Bond Yield: Stands at approximately 1.45%, having edged lower amid strong demand at recent bond auctions and the BoJ’s continued yield curve control. Implications for USDJPY The narrowing yield differential between US and Japanese 10-year bonds (now roughly 2.93%) is a key driver of the yen’s recent strength against the dollar. As US yields fall on expectations of Fed rate cuts, the appeal of the dollar over the yen diminishes, supporting further yen appreciation. The BoJ remains cautious, but with inflation in Japan still below target and growth subdued, there is little pressure for rate hikes, keeping the policy gap wide but shrinking as the Fed pivots dovish. Conclusion The USDJPY has weakened as US yields fall and the Fed signals a dovish tilt, while the BoJ holds steady. The pair is likely to remain under pressure if US yields continue to decline and the Fed moves closer to rate cuts, narrowing the US-Japan yield gap further. #USDJPY
