how are gains and loss treated in ira account? they don't get taxed, correct?
tax deferred. I pay ordinary income tax on withdrawals. I did some of this in my non Ira account, then realized, it makes no sense, because of wash sale rule.

You do use stops right?
So you must be aware of the (PDT) pattern day trader rule - where you can only do 3 trades (3 buys & 3 sells - not 6 "vinny trades") in a 5 day period unless you have $25,000 or more in your trading account?tax deferred.

Anyway what was the outcome of today's TQQQ trade? Do you hold till the close, hell or high water?
edit: I see last post. GL with surgery, hope nothing major. No need to provide any personal details though.
Here is what I noticed mid-aft (note I don't trade stocks/ETF's) lower highs which if I was long would have told me chances are it is not going to go much higher than it has already, and likely to continue to make more lower highs/lower lows:-Yeah I’m aware, but it doesn’t apply to me, I’ve got more than enough assets to skirt the rule.
i posted above, todays Tqqq trade was a $198 gain. Small trades, actually bought in two accounts. I don’t like holding these things overnight. In fact I don’t like holding them for more than a few hours.

i sold it pretty much for that reason, my sale was at 1:48 pm (and 1:53 in second account) which as you can seeon your chart was the second time it got rejected just above $22.50

I hadn’t gotten a chance to look at the market until around 10:30,when TQQQ had given up all it s opening move gains. It looked like it was starting to move back up, so I hopped on. Just didn’t make the sustained move I wanted, so I got out when it felt “directionless”why tqqq instead of sqqq today?
