Trader donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Trader × 2010

TRADER plus cycle 2010 equals $889,896. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2010. Investment banker, portfolio manager, broker, and proprietary trader are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an exchange-member census, a FINRA registration file, or a desk headcount. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.

Parent hubs: Trader donations at /occupations/trader/ and the 2010 election cycle at /election-cycles/2010/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $889,896 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Trader in 2010 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $889,896. Equities versus futures versus fixed-income desks is unpublished for Trader in 2010. The occupation page and the 2010 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.

TRADER as typed, not a license class

$11.6 million ($11,610,856) belongs to the exact string TRADER across harvested cycles. It is not an exchange-member census, a FINRA registration file, or a desk headcount. People who wrote nearby wording — investment banker, portfolio manager, broker, and proprietary trader — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2010 slice is 7.7% of that title bucket. Share of TRADER is not share of all 2010 receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $889,896. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $11,610,856. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Trader donations and the live 2010 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $889,896.

524 trader receipts in a midterm

292 donors and 524 receipts — about 1.8 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $1,698; mean per donor about $3,048. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 292 donors makes this a modest occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 524 is a line count, not 292 one-time gifts; receipts sit close to the donor count, so many people in the cell appear on a small number of lines. Equities versus futures versus fixed-income desks is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by TRADER. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $889,896.

Occupation versus securities PACs

Cite $889,896 as Trader in 2010. Cite $11,610,856 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add securities-industry PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $889,896 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 7.7%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode TRADER into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a midterm-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to cite trader money in 2010

A clean footnote names occupation TRADER, election cycle 2010, $889,896 in itemized individual contributions, 524 receipts, and 292 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $1,698 per line and $3,048 per donor in the cell. If the live Trader donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 524 as unique workers in the trade.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Trader donations rolls every cycle into one TRADER running total. The 2010 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2010 total. Only the Trader × 2010 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 524 receipts and $889,896. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
