Nandu, you are right and I was wrong.

Thanks. I didn't think things through enough. The MTM trader starts out and ends up with the same amount of money, and his $400 gain is indeed wiped out by the $400 tax on his second trade.

Simple, eh? Boy, is my face red.
(I reserve the right to be stupid in the future, too. <g>)

Glad you set me straight.
Thanks again.

Best wishes,
Tom
