FAQ

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO JOIN ES Alerts?

$59 a month

HOW OFTEN DO YOU ADVISE ON TRADES?

ES Alerts do not have a specific schedule in terms of the number of futures trades over a time period.  We expect roughly 5-10 suggested trades per month on average, but this could change with market conditions. The goal is to be profitable over time. 

*All trade alert ideas have a profit target, stop loss, and entry point.

 HOW DOES “FAVORABLE TAX TREATMENT” WORK ON FUTURES TRADING?

E-mini index futures contracts offer a 60/40 split on your bill to Uncle Sam: 60% of your trade is considered a long-term capital gain, while the remaining 40% is “short-term”.

For taxation purposes, you’ll receive a 1099-B form from your broker. This simply reports your total gains or losses for the calendar year on one line, very simple. If  you made $10,000 trading E-mini index futures — 60% of that ($6,000) can be claimed as long-term capital gains and will only be taxed at 15%, with just the remaining $4,000 taxed as short-term gains at your ordinary income rate.
