Day trading

 Note: 

  • Pre-market and after-hours trading on the same trading day will be taken into account when calculating how many day trades are left.
  • Selling shares owned from a previous day doesn’t count as a day trade.
  • If you choose to participate in an IPO offering, selling the shares you receive on the day of the IPO listing will be counted as a day trade.
