the government puts restrictions on day trading sir. unless you have the $25k min balance (cash + equities) you are only allowed 3 round trips in 5 days. its a great way to keep the poor poorer....but thats a whole new topic. anyway, my balance is over the $25k needed so i can make as many round trips as i would like. sometimes i make 10, sometimes i make 30. depends upon the day and the trades doesnt matter what security it is
