Y'all can't freeride the market, lol. You have to wait until funds settle before you use them to buy the security, unless you have a cash position large enough to cover the trade.

If you have $100 and you buy $100 worth of Ford, you now have $0. When you sell $100 of Ford, you now have $100. So far, so good?

Now, if you turn around and buy Ford again with any of that money before the previous sell trade settles, that's a no-no. However, if you had additional cash reserves beyond the $100 that you got from your sale of Ford, and you use THOSE to buy Ford, then you're good.

You have to allow time for trades to settle if you're going to use that same cash to move in and out of the security.

But what if I sell that stock for a small profit, then I take that profit and buy an additional share of a long range investment at a "cheap" price.....that's a yes-yes. No?:D

absolutely! But if that long term investment were to tank right after you bought it, you can’t sell it! You are stuck until your funds settle! Sorry for the inconvenience. Enjoy the ride ? Next stop? Bankruptcy!

I like it because I don’t have to chase it to load more lol. I think the debt restructuring talk is what’s keeping it on the loading dock for now. I will continue to load and load and load. It’s the only turd I’ve got right now. I like it right where it’s at. It also presents a nice 10-12% day trade opportunity on any given day

Commodity futures have contract rolls where they begin pricing off of the next month's contract pricing. It's a little weird. Nothing to worry much about unless you're trading futures.
 
Can someone explain to me what Maintenance required means? I have read several things about it, but I still just don't quite understand it.
 
UCO and CPE are now moving after hours
