I have an LLC whose business is trading securities (stocks and options), and am a trader by IRS definition. Which forms should I use to record the capital gains/losses?

The answer indicated I should use Schedule C, but isn't that for sole proprietorships?  The business is an LLC Partnership.  Does that matter?

If you are a trader, you report your capital gains and losses on Schedule C.
