Are you dealing with the pattern day trader rule? Are you frustrated by it? Have you ever run out of day trades? Be sure to comment below and let me know!
Just wonderful, been searching for "stock trading strategy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Annahiy Stockify Sabinianus - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
The Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rule requires a $25,000 minimum equity balance for margin accounts executing four or more day trades within five business days.
Glad I watched this video thank you. I violated the PDT rule myself towards the end of summer after being up 30% and boy did it hurt me bad one month lol. Now the 90 days has been lifted and I'm ready to make a comebac!
It took some time till I was able to build a strategy around the PDT rule. Didn't know about it until AFTER I had made my very first 3 trades!! I rely more heavily on over night holds now. Hedging since I'm unable to cut losses early while the market is closed. Great video, sir!!
The very first thing I do before even looking at stocks in the morning is look at how many day trades I have left . If I have one , then usually I make a trade. If I have none left then I just paper trade . Sometimes being under the PDT Rule is a good thing because it limits trades which can help build discipline because you have to be smarter about the trades you do make and less trades also means less potential losses .
@@slendertv5682 paper trades are virtual trades. So trades only on paper(no substance). So you are using virtual money and it tells you how much you would have gained or lost if you had made it will real money. It's a great learning tool to let you know if you have a decent trading strategy or if it should be shelved.
I have been trading for about 6 months now and pretty much every trade is slapping me in the face. Almost impossible for me to capture more than a few points. I'm trying to do top-down analysis and MTF analysis, but it doesn't work for me. I'm like, clearly I'm in the 90% losing money, so I open a demo account, do my analysis, then take the opposite of what I would normally take (I know, that sounds silly but I was desperate) and get the same result. I'm starting to feel hopeless, any advice for a struggling trader?
Your problem could be that your stop loss is way too close or that you are overseeing your trades. Place it and walk away. Or you can just quit, trading is not for everyone.
I'm looking for stocks to add to my portfolio that have a market cap below 15B (and pay a dividend). The idea is to purchase stocks that may outperform QQQ and be target for a merger/acquisition. Only found TER (Teradyne) so far. I can do without dividends too if the stock has great products like CRNC (Cerence). Any idea,
I started 2 weeks ago, 1k each into PLTR, NIO, XPEV, CRSR, NET. It's all going ... very well so far, to the point where I'm kind of worried lol. I've come across some rumours that NIO and XPEV, maybe even PLTR, are bubbles, and I don't really have the tools or experience to make my own judgement. What are the chances of me losing money at this stage? And also, how do I know when to sell?
Question Tim: Say I put $26k in my account. Then I buy a stock for $3k. My "Chase You Invest" says the value of my account is still $26k. At this point, the value of my account is 26k, but I only have 23k in cash. Am I under the PDT rule? Meaning, can I infinitely day trade? Follow Up Question: Say I sell that stock back for same price. So now I'm back to $26k. But! The funds won't settle for 2 days. So during that 2 days, am I under the PDT rule?
I am so glad you patiently and clearly explain these little intricacies of the stock world. I had the misunderstanding that it was 3 day trades a day, with NO awareness of the rolling 5 days. Tim S. keeps saying "hold overnight," so I thought if I held overnight, it wouldn't be counted a day trade. I just heard about the rolling 5 day period, today, so of course I needed to look it up to understand it better. I'm glad my co-worker corrected me, otherwise, I might have been caught & penalized with acting on wrong info.
Thanks so much for explaining this rule. I was not aware of it and at the beginning of the video I thought that weekends were part of the 5 days count. Now I know is from M-F and starts again on Mon. Blessings
Good explanation, Also block purchases apply to PDT, make 2 purchases of 50 shares xyz and you sell 51 shares xyz entering 2nd block will count as 2 trades under PDT making it 4 trades. Makes for a bad day!! Love your stuff TB,
Hey, beginner question here.. If I buy one stock and sell a different stock in the same day does that count as a day trade? Or does it only count if it's the same stock that's bought and sold within the same day?
It only counts if its the same day. So if you are under 25K, you can still make more than 3 moves in a 5 day period, you just can only buy and sell the same stock in the same day 3 times. When I was under 25K I could typically scalp 3x in a week, and then swing 8-10 stocks over multi day periods in that week.
Hi rick - YES, it has to be the SAME stock bought and sold in same day to be considered a day trade - you can buy and sell as many other in day .... but you can only buy and sell one stock 3 times in a 5 day period
@@dlove5864 Hello!!! 25K$ means only margin account or cash account also? If I have 24 999$ in cash in my account and I can't do 4 day tradings in 5 days period. Is that correct?
To qualify as a day trade, you must buy and sell the same stock within the same trading day; buying and selling different stocks on the same day is considered swing trading or position adjusting.
Does the Pattern Day Trading Rule or FINRA Rule apply to investors that live outside the USA? Or are they free of this rule or do they have another rule?
What about adding shares to a winner, and selling off some to lock in profits, then finallh closing the trade within minutes? Does this count as 2 pdts? Or just one since its the same stock ?
I have around 100$ But I got warned by the 3 rule day trade, I'm expecting my stock to go Up like 70% But I can't trade for a week Thanks, I would have lost all of my money
yes i got stopped out on a trade by tradestation which caused me to exceed the PDT. i did not execute the trade, tradestation did puting me to 4 trades.
I know this was intended to fully explain the PDT rules, but actually it didn't. I have many questions still. One of the big clarifications I would like is: if the account has over $25K in value (positions and cash), do PDT rules affect the account at all? The reason I ask is that I have a far larger account and yet recently did a large daytrade, then received a warning notice from the broker to observe PDT rules. In fact, their notice was not very clear about the specifics. I am still looking to read the exact wording of these rulings.
Hi Sir. I am a newbie and I have a margin account with my $30,000 own money. I am practising buy/sell real stocks. Last Friday I did repeatedly buy then sell (with different market orders) the same stock 4 times in a day. Did I violate the pattern day trader (PDT) rule? A friend told me that “As long as I maintain minimum $25,000 cash every trading day, i.e cash => $25,000), I am ok”. Is this correct? - Thanks
so what if i have two brokerage accounts on two different platforms, say one account on robinhood and another account on td ameritrade, will i have 6pdt combined or just 3pdt
Yeah so I was just following the movement of UPST and CCL in the last 2 days, it brought me close to that 25k, but not quite enough. I made 5k on the movements, but I got hit with PDT label. Horsecrap. How else would you make any money?
Thank you for your video.I understand that a day trade is when you buy and sell the same day.Hope that defination is correct.What happens if I buy and sell 1 stock each day for 3 days?Will this be considered as 3 day trade ?
Hi Tim, thanks for another great video. I have a question, I live in the UK, I have an IBK UK account and am wanting to trade US stocks via STT. Does the PDT rule apply to me, being British and living in the UK, with an account less than 25k? Thanks in advance.
Hi Tim, I'm fairly new to the world of options trading and have been getting into the more intermmediate strategies such as spreads. My question is: If my account balance is under $25,000 on a margin account and I open a bear call spread, will that spread be considered one trade or will it be considered two trades since the trade techinically consists of me opening two different positions? Please let me know. If anyone else is willing to answer my question it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
To clarify, does the 25k in your trading account have to be liquid cash or can it be the account value. For example, in one of my accounts I have around 50k in it, but that is total invested. I only have about $30 of cash&cash alts. Can I day-trade all I want since I have well over 25k invested? Or does it have to be uninvested cash in the account?
You can apparently buy as much as you can. You can sell as much as you can, but it can’t be the same stock you’re trying to buy and sell in the same day.
Hey Tim, if you have a cash account, are you still subject to the PDT rule? I know that if you have a cash account instead of a margin account, you cannot short, but isnt it worth it if you have no PDT restrictions? Thanks for your help.
Knowing that the exchange may not let me close a position after the 4th day trade is critical, and important to know. They locked my account for only 24 hours after I simply told them that I didn't know anything about the PDTR. They let me slide one time, however once you truly "do know", they will tell you that they warned you one time already, and then they will close it. You cannot go to let's say another brokerage firm, and open an account their either. The closure for 90 days follows you from brokerage to brokerage. You could always wire your funds back to your bank, and wait for the 90 days to elapse. I like your idea about choosing the cash account instead of a margin account. That's how I'm going to do it next time I go back in.
Yes it does apply even with your own cash or with margin account. There's some mis-information saying it applies only for margin accounts but it's not true. Be careful when you do this!
New to trading..but looking for confirmation..i have zero day trades left, but i also have a position i opened weeks ago. If i were to exit would it count as a day trade ??? Does zero dts mean no movement for the day
Hi great video. So just To clarify. Is it just Your account that Has to be worth over $25,000? So I bought some Tesla stock and if I reach $25,000 plus market value but have not sold. And then Use some extra money to be doing day trading can I trade every 5 minutes if I want or do I have to wait for those funds to settle ? Before I can trade the money again. I’m talking about cash. I don’t do margin trading.
If I make four trades in a 5-day period and end up getting restricted will I be able to close my other positions after a few days passed and it's no longer considered a day trade?
So if I buy apple on Monday and sell on same Monday is that 2 trades or 1? If same Monday I also trade general electric. Is that considered my second. Trade. ? Hope I made sense. Thank you in advance.
What about the $25,000? My account was above that & I'd done a bunch of day trades. Now that it fell under due to o e of my positions being down, my account flagged & I can't day trade. If I simply add funds to bring it up over $25000 again, if it rises on it's own, am I good to day trade again as much as I want?
is a trade the full buy and sell? Or just a buy and just a sell? I guess it's simple to just assume you have two trades, one buy and one sell which feels like ONE to me.
OMG 😮 I didn’t know anything about it . So glad ran into this video !!!!! Please can you explain if all traders have this rules if yes then how they trading 5-6 trades in one day ? Thanks
Good to know, quick question so if you have 4 different stocks and you want to take them all out you will have to take out 3 and wait 5 days to take out the last stock?
This is a great video... I was watching cause it was the latest video I found on this topic. I have a question about it though - I plan on starting trading with $500 maybe a $1000 AUD $$$. What If I were too place money into an account and not even trade. Or maybe I do trade for 1 week and do 3 trades to go under the PDT rule. But then I go on holiday for 3 weeks and not trade at all. Do you have to keep trading every week OR is it only after you place that 1 trade for the 1st week etc Thanks in advance and subbed.

how many days can you trade if you have more than 25,000 dollars
The very first thing I do before even looking at stocks in the morning is look at how many day trades I have left . If I have one , then usually I make a trade.

Sometimes being under the PDT Rule is a good thing because it limits trades which can help build discipline because you have to be smarter about the trades you do make and less trades also means less potential losses .

If they could change it to five that would be great.
To become a pattern day trader, is the $25,000 based on your account value or does it factor in your margin value as well?
must be actual cash balance in USD
Cash or value of securities held minus any margin borrowed.

hwab has no round trip tracking of any kinda. Expect you to use a calendar and pencil. TD had round trip tracking.
If I got flag as a pattern day trader on robin hood could i go to TD and day trade right after that next day?
Yes, each broker has its own count. They are seperate. That's why it's good to have more than one account.
Thank you, I understand that now
If I make four trades in a 5-day period and end up getting restricted will I be able to close my other positions after a few days passed and it's no longer considered a day trade?
Awesome Tim! thank's for the reminder.
Is a trade considered just a buy or sell?? If I buy then sell 10 minutes later is that one trade or two? Thank you
1 trade
Does this apply for margin account that exceeds over 25k in value?
Are there tax implications as a day trader?
So if I buy apple on Monday and sell on same Monday is that 2 trades or 1? If same Monday I also trade general electric. Is that considered my second. Trade. ? Hope I made sense. Thank you in advance.
what about if acc has over 25K? does this rule apply to them? is there a need to talk to broker to un- check the box for day trading? Thank you
What about the $25,000? My account was above that & I'd done a bunch of day trades. Now that it fell under due to o e of my positions being down, my account flagged & I can't day trade. If I simply add funds to bring it up over $25000 again, if it rises on it's own, am I good to day trade again as much as I want?
Great video thank you 🙏🏻
is a trade the full buy and sell? Or just a buy and just a sell? I guess it's simple to just assume you have two trades, one buy and one sell which feels like ONE to me.
OMG 😮 I didn’t know anything about it . So glad ran into this video !!!!! Please can you explain if all traders have this rules if yes then how they trading 5-6 trades in one day ? Thanks
They have $25,000 or more. After this amount the rule does not apply.
Thanks for the information, finally I got the answer
Good to know, quick question so if you have 4 different stocks and you want to take them all out you will have to take out 3 and wait 5 days to take out the last stock?
This is a great video... I was watching cause it was the latest video I found on this topic. I have a question about it though - I plan on starting trading with $500 maybe a $1000 AUD $$$. What If I were too place money into an account and not even trade. Or maybe I do trade for 1 week and do 3 trades to go under the PDT rule. But then I go on holiday for 3 weeks and not trade at all. Do you have to keep trading every week OR is it only after you place that 1 trade for the 1st week etc
Thanks in advance and subbed.
P.S 90 days isn't all that long time flys when you're having fun and you can just use that time too research more :) OR maybe 90 days is too long haha
Is this for a Margin account or cash account or both lol ? thank you
Focusing on margin accounts in this video.
@@Stockstotrade Thank you!
Is that apply only for one stock with number of shares? Or all stocks?
