Every brokerage has different limits You should see if they have a list available with the different margin requirements. Might want to ask them about the Settlement of funds also. Not sure if all of the brokerages us it or not. You might be right in that it is a flaw in the Freetrade software or that they reduced their limits to keep from being caught with a bad trade that They would need to settle. They might have a lot of traders not coming up with the margin calls and if they are a smaller brokerage may have tighter restrictions on daytrading and margin limits, maybe. Good Luck Paula! :^)
Good Luck to All! :^) PLAN the TRADE and TRADE the PLAN!
