Cash Account vs. Margin Account For Options Trading | Avoid PDT Rule

[@TeddyAlexanderv6]

Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are early informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass up to $1m amid economy crisis, and even pull it off easily in favorable conditions. Unequivocally, the collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich.

[@OscarBarnaby3k]

I do not disagree, there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such execution are usually carried out by investment experts with experience since the 08' crash.

[@NikolasMartine01]

The issue is people have the "I want to do it myself mentality" but not equipped enough for a crash, hence get burnt. Ideally, advisors are reps for investing jobs, and at first-hand encounter, my portfolio has yielded over 300% since 2020 just after the pandemic to date.

[@MatthewAidan4ns]

i'm blown away! mind sharing more info please? i am a young adult living in Miami where i've encountered several millionaires, and my goal is to become one as well.

Short, concise, and to the point! A great reference video to send to new traders who have questions regarding this pretty important topic! Thank you for posting this!

[@dinismall3940]

Great video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Genevi Sonadelyn Eradicator (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for making money using this effective options system without the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.

[@mr.vip317]

This is excellent information. I didn't know until last we that you can avoid the PDT rule if you use a cash account. I've been trading options for over here now, that's craaaazy.

[@AlternativeLine]

I learned everything about options within 3months and didnt know i needed a god damn margin account to trade every strategy, i though margin has stupid ammount of fees each trade 5-7% but i was wrong ty for explaining.

[@adolfoorantes3690]

Hey man! I just got started in all this and i don’t know to get a margin account since im a beginner (and level 1 option trader) any advice?

[@Ahmad-b9q5x]

It's important to note that trading can be complex and involves substantial risk. It requires a good understanding of the underlying markets, analysis of supply and demand factors, and careful monitoring of price movements.

[@kingfran8758]

In cash account- if I start with 500 and spend the whole 500 on a stock and collect all profit. Can I still trade the 500 again without the profit i collected, the same day. Basically can I trade my whole account multiple times in a day?

[@jokerhere4504]

I’m curious about this too, I’ve heard you can do multiple but I’m hearing conflicting information

[@jokerhere4504]

Hey so I may have an answer for it actually after doing some digging so apparently you can’t do that, so it’d be wise to use a small percentage of your account when you trade

[@kingfran8758]

@@jokerhere4504 thank you!!!

[@VincentDesiano]

No, you can only use the $500 buying power per day. What you described above is called a good faith violation. What Joker explained is correct.

[@JoJo-dh4xg]

The 3 trades only applies to buying right? What if I have 12 existing option positions, can I sell all even if I have made 3 buys and 3sells?

[@justintanner246]

PTD rule is when you buy a stock and sell that stock within the same day. It don't matter how many times you sell. For an example: I buy into 3 different options and sell the same options on Monday, but I've got 8 options I was holding over the weekend, I am able to sell them all because I got them Friday. A swing trade is holding overnight or say a few days and or weeks which you can do however much you want. So if I buy a stock today I can sell them tomorrow without any problems, considered a swing.

[@buhumal]

Is it 3 or 4 trades per week?

[@Nikola83ify]

What about poor man's covered calls (LEAPS + covered calls)? Can I do that on a cash account?

[@superlinksx]

in a cash account you say you can only buy calls and buy puts .. but of course to close those calls and puts while scalping you have to be able to sell them as well correct? (i know this probably is kind of obvious but please clarify)

[@InfinitelyManic]

With a cash account you can generally only buy and sell cash secured puts and covered calls.

[@alejandrofrancoo5002]

You made an example for a 5k portfolio investing 1k and getting the same 1k as instant available balance after you sell , but what if you invest the entire 5k in one stock and you sell it the same day, am i going to have the 5k as instant available balance? or is it limited to just 1k and i have to wait for the other 4k to settle?

It doesn't matter where you live, it matters with whom you trade. If you trade with a US based broker, PDT rule will apply. If you trade with a broker that is not based in the US, PDT rule will not apply.

I have a cash account with interactive brokers, if my account size is over 25K, do i still have to conform to the settlement period? because its annoying to wait +2 days to be able to trade again! if im over 25K, will that take this pain away?
