I received this email from Nadex. Nadex has recently been advised by staff of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission that its instruments are considered “commodity options†categorized as “swapsâ€. Do Nadex gains qualify for favorable 60/40 tax treatment?
This is not new it has been this way for quite a while.
