wow. You either need a new broker or stop playing pennies. Even though I am cash only as well, I can make up to 5 day trades a week without being considered a "day trader" and then being subject to a whole new set of rules.
Bro you should have just sold. Call up the broker and play dumb. Or worst case open a new account and transfer. If you tade and don't have the option of selling as soon as you buy, that is just plain ridiculous.
i trade on a cash acct also. on a 90 day restriction it doesn't mean you can't trade for 90 days. all it means is if you use all your cash on a trade and you buy and sell the same day you have to wait 3 days for the trade to clear until you can use funds again. trust me, i'm always on a 90 day restriction,lol
Until recently I was cash account...you can buy and sell in same day as long as monet has settled...FWIW, I would never commit on any penny for 3 days w/o the option of selling, these things are to volatile
