How often can I trade?

There is no limit to the number of stocks you can buy and sell.  However, regulations prevent day trading in a cash account which is one round trip: buy, sell then buy; or sell, buy then sell on the same day. In addition, “pattern day” trading is also not allowed. This means that you cannot buy and sell the same instrument on the same day more than four times in a five business day period.
