Trader and the 2014 election cycle

Two filters: Trader and 2014

TRADER plus cycle 2014 equals $634,849. 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 2014. Securities Trader, Bond Trader, and Floor Trader are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a FINRA CRD extract or an exchange membership file. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the occupation total $11,610,856 and the remainder $10,976,007.

Parent hubs: Trader donations at /occupations/trader/ and the 2014 election cycle at /election-cycles/2014/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $634,849 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Midterm window, occupation string TRADER

$11,610,856 belongs to the exact string TRADER across harvested cycles. It is not a FINRA CRD extract or an exchange membership file. People who wrote nearby wording — Securities Trader, Bond Trader, and Floor Trader — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2014 slice is 5.5% of that title bucket.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $634,849. 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 2014 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell.

167 donor keys inside the 2014 cell

167 donors and 335 receipts — about 2.0 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $1,895; mean per donor about $3,801. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. No median is published in this packet.

Neither 167 nor 335 is a census of every trader who donated. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $634,849. Securities Trader, Bond Trader, and Floor Trader are other keys when those words appear.

Unitemized money and other FEC tables

Cite $634,849 as Trader in 2014. Cite $11,610,856 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add a trading-firm PAC or an industry-association committee to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $634,849 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 5.5%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode TRADER into a FINRA CRD extract or an exchange membership file. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. A midterm-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

A complete Trader × 2014 claim

A clean footnote names occupation TRADER, election cycle 2014, $634,849 in itemized individual contributions, 335 receipts, and 167 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $1,895 per line and $3,801 per donor in the cell. If the live Trader donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 335 as unique workers in the trade.

Repeat the four numbers together: $634,849 in the 2014 cycle, 335 contributions, 167 donors, and 5.5% of $11,610,856. That sentence is the join. Gifts per donor in 2014 average about 2.0. That ratio is 335 divided by 167, not a measure of turnout.

Remainder $10,976,007 outside 2014

Securities Trader, Bond Trader, and Floor Trader are neighboring strings, not parents of this cell. Opening those occupation hubs and adding their dollars to $11,610,856 would mix keys. All occupations is the index for those other strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pages, including other years for Trader when those files exist.

Do not rank Trader against other occupations from this packet. The packet has one occupation total and one cycle cell. Rankings would require other occupation totals that are not facts here. Stop at $634,849 tagged Trader in 2014.
