And if you set up a company to do a day trading business and you are only day trading your own money, no one needs you to have a license. But if you are trading like those financial planner agents and trading under certain platforms and then you need to be licensed, you know, with a financial planner side of requirement. If you are trading other people's money, if you have more than 35 people who come to you, you are trading for them; you need to look for professional licensing. | Community CPA
