If you're adding the cost to the next trade, couldn't you end red on the year from wash sales? In the trading platforms you see you're green since it doesn't calculate your pnl based on wash sales. If it's really adjusting the cost per trade, isn't it possible to actively trade your account into...

So what does this mean for scalpers like me? Am I risking my account from wash sales even though pretax I'm up? Thanks!

hi, i started this year, i do scalping. I might hit a stock 50 times in a day. Some trades don't work, that's why i'm worried about wash sales. I'm up 10k at the moment, but my fear is, I might really have nothing, or less from wash sales. Is this scenario possible?

Hello, I haven't filed taxes for my trading gains before and my trading is quite active. Can wash sales cause you to end negative on the year even if you ended positive before tax? thanks.

I can't remember the time when I saw the millions. There were numerous times throughout the day where both the bid and ask put up a couple million shares. Regardless, i was filled even after seeing these numbers. Interesting.

I considered the routing issue as a possibility while researching it. Perhaps they try to get money from routes. What's odd is the same ticker would have 2 million visible bids, I put my buy limit and got filled in 10 seconds before all those bids. The priority is a complete mystery to me. By...

I didn't have any special conditions in the order. Just a vanilla sell limit.

It's not perfect for active day traders. I place over a hundred orders a day and been with schwab for 2 years now. Where it falls apart are high volume tickers. For example, if there is a big bid of a million shares and its wiped out the platform will hang for a couple seconds. This has been...

I bought at 11:00 filled on the bid. Put up my sell at 1.14 in advance, it upticked to a BxA of 1.13x1.14 then traded up until 11:26:42 no fill, so I hit the bid. It is what it is I guess, just wanted to make sure my broker is treating me fair :)

I put it on the Ask. I sat and watched 3 million shares trade on between the bid and ask where my order was placed.

I wanted to get it on the offer, so put it there. Eventually the bids started to get picked off, so I dropped my limit on the bid and of course it took the order immediately.

Hello, I am new to trading, please answer this if you truly understand! Is there an impact placing a limit order with a retail broker like TD Ameritrade, Schwab, or ETrade vs a DMA broker? I placed a sell limit order on SNDL today. After 30 minutes of selling on the offer, it still didn't take...
