So I'm assuming since it hasnt been T+3 days since I purchased them, I cannot sell them until the 8th??
This seems quite ridiculous to be honest (not that I will be losing money YET, but if there was a huge drop then how would me stop loss be executed?)
Any insight into this would be appreciated and possible other brokers that will allow me to day trade every now and then.
Thanks
