There is a difference between a missed entry and a denied entry. Define it as you wish, but in my book their are two types of entries. There are great entries (meet all my criteria, and the only acceptable entry), and shitty entries (don't meet all my criteria, never considered, chased, etc.)...

Agreed

Let's just simplify it. Here they all are. I trust IB's interpretation over all other brokers. My argurment is supported within these examples. As I indicated, brokers have their own rules and can do whatever they want. I don't believe I am "confused" as you indicated. If I am, then so...

From IB "-On Monday, 500 shares of XYZ stock are purchased. On Tuesday, another 500 shares of XYZ stock are purchased. On Wednesday, 1000 shares of XYZ stock are sold. None of these are considered to be day trades."

from IB: http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/margin.php?p=d&ib_entity=llc from examples at this page. "On Monday, 500 shares of XYZ stock are purchased. Later on that same day, another 500 shares of XYZ are purchased. In after hours trading on Monday, 1000 shares of XYZ...

I believe the wording of this to mean that if you sell and then add to your position after, it is not a daytrade, but if you add to your postion, then sell, it is a daytrade. I have asked several brokers about this in the past, as I wondered if my exit being only the size of the position...

That's always been my understanding on the day trades. The wording is interesting in the exceptions, though. I guess I forget that TS is used by a lot of automated traders. The rule they have for entry probably keeps the automated plays from breaking the rules in small non PDT accounts.

Purchasing and selling of the same security on the same day. The purchase itself does not constitute a daytrade without the sale. Or does it? I don't believe so. They are only letting me purchase 3 in the same day when there is no selling. But the next day I can make the purchases...

I am well aware of the rules. I have been daytrading for 5 years. I won't dispute the exit being counted as 3 trades for three entries. I know for a fact that various brokers treat it differently, based on their interpretation of the rule. My point is that TS will not let me establish...

Perhaps you missed the part of my post that said "small account". The mere fact that I was discussing the PDT interpretation by TS in a small account should have been a dead give away I was talking about a NON daytrading account. But on the other hand, a small account for some is probably...

I've tried others like E signal, Quote tracker, etc. The reason I use TS is the ability to multi page. I only use two monitors, and multi paging gives me a workable system. The only reason I trade with them is to get the lower fee on the platform. The way they approach the PDT rules is...

And their goes my play. FY TS. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention? If you enter a stock at three different times, and exit once, you will be charged 3 day trades in your account. I waited 3 hours to enter my play only to get refused. So let me repeat myself. FY TS!!!!!:mad:

I have no, repeat, no daytrades in my swing account at TS for today, 1 used total in my account, yet when I went to enter my 3rd entry for the day (scaling into my swings), they refused my entry because I am only allowed to establish the amount of positions that might cause me to daytrade...

Or when you get denied by the bureaucrat because: You are fat You smoke You drink You don't excercise etc... Not to mention existing conditions related to or unrelated to the above. "you've had diabetes too long. Your time is up. Sorry". "High blood pressure? You eat too much...

perhaps this was a factor in those lower rates: http://homepage.usask.ca/~sta575/cdn-firearms/Kopel/labs1.html#untold

At this point I would say anyone waiting for SS has been duped. It's bigger than Madoff, as in Ponzi. To take the point of the thread further...let's deny the oldsters certain medical now, and maybe we just cut off their SS when they reach a certain age, too. It won't be there anyway.

Totally missed my point. All those non existent taxpayers that were eliminated before birth would have contributed greatly to the coffers.

A system for the have nots is fine with me (and I don't mind pitching in a little extra for such a cause), but don't change it for those who have been promised, earned, and are paying for private healthcare of a set standard...
