In all reality...the wash sale rule is totally inconsequential if you're mainly a trader because it only applies if you still hold a stock which you're claiming a loss on.... and I got the 98% figure from the article..it said that 98% of traders probably wont be considered as actual daytraders... anyway if you designate yourself a professional daytrader you have to pay additional taxes.. as a self employed professional meaning social security taxes..as a strict unemployed investor these taxes are not due... just thinking outloud... rok
