Name: Step-Up Trading LLC Position: Partner - Trading Nature: I trade Options, Futures and Forex under the business account (Step-Up Trading LLC) in my brokerage account instead of trading with an individual account Investment Related: Yes Hours: 3 Securities Trading Hours: 2 Start Date: 12/08/2020 Address: Home Address, Charlotte NC 28262, United States Description: I have a business called Step-Up Trading LLC which I formed with my wife as co-owners and partners in 8th December 2020. The main reason for forming LLC is investing for our future and the tax advantages involved as opposed to trading an individual account. I trade Options, Futures and Forex in a TD Ameritrade brokerage account. Address of business is the same as home address. I usually trade weekly index options, so I spend no more than 5-10 mins placing trades every week. The number of trades per week depends on market movement, I usually average about 2-3 per week. We do not employ anyone, just trade in a business brokerage account.
