Hey I'm just starting to day trade and I had a couple questions maybe someone could clear up for me and I would be very appreciative. I understand there is a rolling 5 day period in which you are only allowed to make 4 trades or you must have 25,000 in your account. Is this true only with margin accounts or cash accounts as well? Also is buying and selling the same stock considered 1 trade? or is buying and selling each a considered a separate trade? I didn't know if this was the right place to ask about this or not but I just can't seem to find the information anywhere and I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out here. Thanks.
