Appearance and things we would need to consider

There are a number of facts that distinguish you from working as a day trader in an office as an employee.

• Whose money do you trade
• How do you trade
• What volume of transactions do you make
• Does anyone else have any control over the money or funds you invest
• Are you FSA regulated and qualified
• Where do you work from
• Do you have an office at home and pay for external office facilities
• Do you back any risk to third parties
• How have you been operating previously

All of the above factors would need to be considered further to assess whether the transactions might amount to a trade.
