I can concur that trading less often leads to higher gains. This is likely so because it forces the trader to be a specialist on only 1-2 specific patterns. I've read in many places that it is best to be a specialist on one or two set ups. This will allow you to be more selective in your trades, which in turn allows the market to come to you. Keep up the great work!

Do you have a specific place to find the 100 day average?

Most financial sites normally calculate the short interest ratio. If not, just use the average volume shown on a site like yahoo finance or finviz

I'm looking for the backside, thought it was in earlier but I was wrong. I expect to either see new highs Monday or a breakdown below the 14.60's. Not sure which will happen haha.

Thanks, that was my guess. So, if/when I cross that 25k mark I'll still need to just make 3 day trades per 5 days until I'm confident I won't ever dip below 25k again. Thanks for the link.

If after your 5 or 6 trades you total account equity is still 25k or over then no PDT restriction. By account equity I mean the total $$ of securities you are playing with (gain or loss) plus the remaining $$ in your account. However, if you sell all your positions and you end up below 25k after realized losses then you fall back into PDT restriction.

@RBI yes....brokers have different rules when you are flagged as a PDT. If you fall back under 25K and are a PDT some brokers will make you wait 90 or 120 days before resetting back to a non-PDT or you can ask 'once' to be reset back to non-PDT or simply deposit

the difference into your account to bring you back above 25K cash. Call your broker to ask what their rules are. They can differ broker to broker...

Trades take 2 days to settle (T2). Even with immediate access in a margin account you would be limited under the Pattern Day Trader rule (PDT) until you can maintain the required minimum. Less trading is a good thing anyway while you study and only trade the best setups. Good luck!

Wait so even when I get the 2000 saved up for margin it will still restrict me until I can maintain that balance?

When is part 2? :) I understand what you're saying about charts and am curious what you DO use.

Also, what do you mean by "TRXC which almost hit $1 mil from a $200 investment" ? Even if you bought at the lowest it would only be worth about $2000 right now, right?

Sorry there's a typo. I used $200k, not $200 lol. Big difference. Obviously I believe strongly that it would get FDA clearance.
