Flat fee is the way to go, I wouldn't pay a skip trader a percentage of the deal.  

Traders are the ones like me who hold from 2 seconds to 20 minutes, short term, day traders.

Hello All,I've been following BP for a few years now but kept dabbling back and forth between REI and being a swing trader in the equities markets.

Cash out, take the early withdrawal fee, tax hit, etc etc and go buy more Bitcoin(highly unlikely to choose this option, but I'm sure plenty of people have done this ha ha).

Can't say on the tax returns, not sure what he has to file or if you are a day trader on the side.Regarding the monthly financials - this is likely under an hour at CPA rates or maybe a couple hours at bookkeeping rates. 

Where we start to see the separation of people interested in real estate and flashier, hip investments like Bitcoin or IPO's or Shark Tank opportunities is timing.

I was making money in the market before the micro traders and the fickle FED but now its just more of "how much did I lose today?"

Such plans are purely a way to diversify your tax-sheltered retirement savings into non-conventional assets such as real estate, private mortgages, Bitcoin, etc. 

Bitcoin is down 52% and that's strong relative performance to other cryptocurrencies.Real estate is the last asset class standing in terms of holding it's value relative to inflation, and I think that a lot of folks are rightfully worried and/or skeptical that prices will hold in the real estate market in coming months with further rate hikes from the Fed expected.The only way that an investor could have "won" in this environment (other than real estate... so far) would have been to buy commodities and accurate predict the rise in prices for things like oil, raw materials, and food.
