QUESTION: how does everyone keep track of their daily trades and balances in their trading account? I am looking for a simple downloadable form that will show something like buys, sells, dates, balances, profits, losses etc. I have asked this question on a few threads over the past few weeks without a lot of real luck...thanks!

mod, you are correct. Expense the books under Sec. 179. But, you must have net profit to use 179. The limit is 18,500 for '98 and 19,000 for '99.

Sec 179 is not allowable for investment assets. Sec 179 is restricted to TRADE or BUSINESS assets. I agree with all the Robbie has posted in this regard.
