Question about smaller accounts under 25K...

Lets say I buy 10 option contracts of a single stock. Then I scale out by selling 3 contracts, then I sell 2 more, then I sell the remaining 5. All of this during the same trading day.

Does that count as 3 separate "round trip trades" or as 1?
Should only be one trade.

Counts as 1 if one buy. 3 sells do not equal 3 round trip day trades.

Buying - sell - buy - sell of the same stock would be 2 day trades in a day.

If you are a cash account it doesn't matter though.

MBIO testing 3 day resistance.

You guys DO NOT want to miss this when it happens.
Looks like I wasn't the only one with a $3.05 stop order.

This may be a dumb question... but did AAPL do some kind of dividend or whatever? For some reason I have an additional 0.034 shares this morning?
some kind of dividend? Yes, they've done quarterly for probably as long as I've been alive. Months 2/5/8/11

I do have margin. So I have the 3 round trip trade limit.

So it should only show up as 1 of my 'day trades.' Thank you all for the answers!

Thinking about switching to cash account... Would like to have the freedom to sell quicker to minimize losses and then jump back in lower, rather than having to ride it all the way down or use one of my 3 day trades.

You can always open a 2nd account and move some money into it as a cash account so you don't have those limitations. I use TOS so its easy to switch between accounts such as tax deferred, cash, margin, etc.

On Fidelity I can select whether I want to buy with cash or margin.

If I choose cash and buy with settled cash, I can sell the same day and it doesn't count as a day trade.

Redler sent a tweet out it was a good to see names heading to ASH and the upside move then responded to someone he stayed heavy and got heavier on MBIO.

Anyone trades options in Fidelity here? Somehow I am no longer able to purchase option that expire today. Is it just me or everyone is having the same restriction?

Was this TSLA? Because today they did not let me open a position on TSLA for today
I tried TSLA, ZM and others with the same result.

My apologies to the board for bringing NIO down.

If its any consolation to you guys, finally...I had one time where I was on the right side of one of these things. Just as I posted that, I sold off all my remaining position in it at just over $52 after selling a lot along the way in its run up from $19ish to $50ish. Its now $43ish.

I bought 10k shares when it was around $2.50 and promptly sold when it hit $3.50 even though OA said this this was going to rocket. So if anyone feels like a dumbass right now, its big G. Instead of the 10K profit I would be looking at 400K in profit. That would have eaten up a large chunk of my losses year to date.

I am heavy shares and also bought some options. Heavy shares so I have flexibility to go net free on a portion or sell covered calls on part should we get a spike.

Nov 20 calls for funsies anyone?

I'm long a ton of shares, but adding a few calls mostly for fun in the trading account.

Ok, I lied, went mostly Dec exp.

I've got for fun of the 12/18 5Cs. YOLO....

If it pops between now and/or right at the conference the risk was worth the reward IMO. Whether I sell them or exercise them depending. If not I am not worried about the loss on what I bought.

projected, aka pumped in the media. No concession coming. This battle has just begun. Buckle your seatbelts.

Remember too, that once a state certifies it's votes and puts in their electorals, that is certifying there was no fraud. If evidence of fraud, the DOJ can then step in!

The presser is about the Covid vaccine and Project Warp Speed. It's probably good that he's giving it after the market closes though.
