I trade everything! My biggest trades this year have been in oil and gas options. But my next biggest trade category has been the short bond trade and third probably crypto. I still trade flat price but I'm always hedged to some degree. This has been one of my best trading years ever thanks...

It's all in the charts Zany, all in the charts. I learned that from you. :D:D:D

:wtf:

Why would you not trade the exchange traded spreads for CL?

Where do you live in NY Bob?

Zany, You keep reading my chart wrong. I'm not talking about the efficacy of the rule. I'm talking about the OP first post on the thread. It's not about Risk, Oprah, daytraders, your mommy, Millenials, etc. When you rent an apt, lease a car, borrow money from a bank or yes, trade on margin...

Zany, I'm not defending it. I simply stated that when ANYONE in life "borrows" money from someone, be it a firm or an individual, that person who does the borrowing doesn't get to make the rules. This applies across the board. That was the only point I made. Traders are not entitled to...

I never said to daytrade puts. You simply stated one can't short stocks in a cash account. I provided an alternative. I made no mention of time frame. And there are NOT 100's of thousands of daytraders out there. LOL. There are more people who play professional sports then trade for a...

Zany, daytrading stocks has been dead for a long time. Why do you think all the equity prop firms went under? Come on man, I use to trade at a firm that had 1000 daytraders at it's peak. Not a single one of them is still in the game. There was an edge there 15 years ago. That is long gone...

Of course you can't short a stock in a cash account. That requires you to BORROW someone else's money that is not yours. LOL. But you CAN buy inverse ETFs. You CAN buy puts. Come on Zany, you can walk and chew gum at the same time right?

https://www.warriortrading.com/cash-account-definition-day-trading-terminology/ Cash Account Settlement Rules For stocks, it is the trade date plus two trading days for cash to settle while for options it is only the trade date plus one trading day for the funds to settle. So if you buy an...

This is false. If your broker restricts you from trading because your capital is under 25k, tell them you want a cash account. I know for a FACT TD Ameritrade does this. I'm sure IB and ETrade do as well.

Max, it's not a regulation thing. Look, I'm a libertarian on these things, you know that. If you want to do lines of blow off your hookers ass while shooting up heroin inbetween your toes, I say go for it. It's your money, your body. THIS is not that. You are talking about using "other...

Max, most stocks settle in one day. The rule allows for "up to 3 days" for settlement. In most cases it happens the following day.

There is a lot of bad info on this thread. The PDT rule does not apply to cash accounts. Also, if one has a position on or several, the PDT does NOT prohibit you from closing trades. In fact, if you exceed the 3 trade max, you will get a notice that says "closing only" meaning you can close...

Again, I'm sorry if I'm coming across as obtuse, but they are NOT saying you can't trade when your account dips under 25k, they are saying you can't BORROW the brokers money if your account is under 25k. Max, there is a huge difference there.

Max, nobody is stopping anyone. You can do whatever you want with your capital. If I want to start a business, I have to go to a bank and apply for a loan. It's not easy. I have to have good credit and my business will be highly scrutinized. Look at how many people today still claim they...

Because the gov't DOES bailout the broker via FDIC or SIPC insurance.
