Please, educate me. 
 Wash sale rule is stating that you cannot offset your long term loss with short term gains in the same security within a month. It only counts when you file your taxes.  
 Source: I had wash sales and it's not as big of deal as people make of it.

### REPLY:
The only way wash sale wouldn't apply is if you file your taxes as a trader and not an investor. That being said you would have to prove to the IRS that you trade stock on a regular basis and this is your business and not a hobby. Honestly I doubt I could prove my OTM MU, AMD, SNAP and SPY calls are more then just a investment hobby since I just started trading in October. I would prefer to take the 3,000 loss in April and cool down from all this Volatility for 30 days.
