Trade Limits

[Xadius 0]

For smaller accounts that limit trades, is buying and then selling the same stock considered 2 separate trades or is it considered 1 trade? Thanks in advance.

That is what is referred to as a “Round Trip”.  

That would take away 1 of your day trades available.

While I was using TD Ameritrade they would also consider partials a round trip, so whenever I took 20%, 50%, and then 100%, I unhappily saw that all of my day trades were taken up.
