I can sell a purchase made with unsettled funds 24 hours later without violating the rule? I thought it was three days.. Why does everyone tell me it's three days? I hope you're right!
If I do violate the rule, I get two warnings before they **** me.. So on the third "free ride" I'd get hit with the account restriction..?
If they **** me and restrict my account, I can deposit to cover the unsettled trade and it'll unrestrict my whole account?
Very good to know- THANK YOU!
PS: This is what it says when I go to put a sell order in (I sold a settled purchase yesterday and immediately used to proceeds to buy into JALA)
