Normally you need to file them as capital gains or losses (like you would with stocks or options).

But you can make a special election that will allow you to split them as 60% long terms capital gains and 40% regular income, which is advantageous for tax purposes since long term capital gains rates are lower.

Currency Trading: is it a viable long term way to make money from home?

Question by Necip C: Currency Trading: is it a viable long term way to make money from home?
I went to an introduction to FOREX (foreign exchange) class recently and they were telling us how with a good education in FOREX you can consistently make money, and good money too, since you are trading 50 or 100 times what you have in your trading account. The complete course is $ 2000 and they were pushy for us to take the class so I didn’t feel so confident about it, but i read up on the subject a bit and did a trial trade for about 30 days, I was up a lot at one point (about $ 8000) but in the end of the month i pretty muich broke even. WIth more knowledge and a proper education on the subject can it be a long term way of makin money?
DEAR ALL, thanks for your responses, overall you seem to think currency trading is high risk and not really a viable way of making money from home. I should have mentioned in my question that if i were to do it, i would want to rely more on technical analysis and all the ratios and different theorems etc. I would also be making trades that are from about 30 minutes to at most one day. Does this change anyones opinion on the subject?
