Hello, I was just wondering if people have any data that shows that low floaters are likely to get short squeezed more both by amount and frequency. Is this true or am I imagining it? In particular I was wondering if adding a rule to my trading that prohibits shorting any stock with < 5 million...

Also I don't have enough losers to make up the PDT so rebalancing alone won't get me there. Thanks though!

The period to not trade is sort of short so I don't care. I'll transfer in kind. Thanks!

Thanks!

One of the obvious problems is taxation right? So if my long term investment had gain, then just the act of selling it in X and buying back Y will trigger tax? :( I might gradually sell investments which are losers and rebuy them but that'll take time.

That is kind of you to offer for me to call you. So I know its obvious but just to be doubly sure - if my long-term equity (not cash) ever cause the a/c to below 25k while those equities are being held, then I get back to being under PDT, correct?

Trading can be pretty boring and discouraging and having a trading buddy to trade with can help. Would love to connect with similar people in the northern VA area and maybe we can actively day-trade in person together once in a while and bounce ideas. Chat rooms don't really offer the same...

Thanks ET fam!!!

Yeah sorry guys. It was an order entry mistake. Thanks for the warm welcome. By the way - does trade zero free version not support OCO bracket orders? I want to put an automatic STOP order on every trade.

Anyone know why TradeZero (web version) grays out the Stop Price field? I find that weird it is disabled. What does yours show you? Screenshot attached. I wonder if this is because the market is currently closed, however it should allow me to set a stop price for orders with Time in force as...
