jryan 6 Posted April 30, 2019 I found out today that if you are attempting to Swing Trade and you get stopped out that day it counts towards the PTD rule. So I received a large margin call from TDAmeritrade. I freaked out but realize that I am not going to be able to trade with them for awhile. I knew I was setting my stops too close. What a lesson to learn. LOL I get more sim time. John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kasper 13 Posted April 30, 2019 did your stop not trigger at the right price? Kasper Jensen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jryan 6 Posted April 30, 2019 Yes they did. They just triggered the same day I placed the buy orders. Happened over a couple days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jryan 6 Posted May 2, 2019 An update: After a couple of days, TD responded to my query and offered to remove the PTD flag as a courtesy, since I am such a newb. (my words) . So it ended well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kasper 13 Posted May 8, 2019 I apologize for not responding back. For some reason, I don't get any notifications in the forum. I'm happy your problem is resolved. Question: how many trades do you usually do every week? Kasper Jensen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
