Retirement tax questions

your answers not really answering to my questions above.  Simply put, can I expense subscriptions, equipment and etc on Schedule C even if I don't elect M2

See this part of my post above:  With day trading your gains and losses still go on Schedule D but your business expenses such as margin interest, computer costs allocatable to the business, etc. go on Schedule C.  In effect your losses will be on Schedule D (limited to $3,000 like everyone else) but your day trading expenses will go on Schedule C (unlike others classified as investors.)

The underlined portions would include subscriptions and equipment depreciation.
