When day trading, should I wait for the cash to settle in the account before I buy again?
Asked 5 years ago
Once you get a 25k account, I understand that I gain unlimited day trades, but do you have to wait for the cash to settle in the account before you buy again?

Most day trades take two days to settle.
Therefore, to avoid a good faith violation, you should wait for two business days before using the money to buy another security.
To be on the safe side, should you buy a new stock, don't sell it before settlement.
