IB-question

Quote from cashola:

As soon as you trade 4 daytrades in ANY size account you are PDT'd. The computer counting does the count weather the account is over or under 25 K. The removal of funds just trips the lockup automatically as the account in that moment is associated with a sub 25K total. Sucks but true...

it sucks in square root)) because withdrawing funds have nothing to do with trading)))
i did call to NASD and they agree that this is sucks because there is no single word about this in rules-it is broker own policy and nothing you can do.
what also sucks -that after i speak with two IB CS-i got two different numbers- 25 and 90 days. heh..what a joke..

It's not surprising that they gave you this answer. Margin rules and scenarios are complicated, and it is unlikely that they were able to understand the entirety of your situation via a phone call. Even from your writings here, it is difficult to determine exactly what your situation is.
