This can help you avoid a margin call as well MB trading simply won't let you violate the 3 day clearing rule - the requested trade will go unfilled. But this idea needs to be included in Port Sim as well - so you can get a feel for how the 3-day clearing rule effects your results. Even better, allow (in OP and Port Sim) a way to control how many longs vs shorts are entered each day, or how many you have open at any time, or how many trades/day you will enter, etc. If you have a cash acct you may want to spread your trading out and not be completely allocated all in one day, for example And we should not have to wait for a new module or a version of omnivest's trade processor - these are not complex adjustments that could be implemented into OP/PS. Last BASH Ed said we would see a huge improvement in Port Sim in 2013 - wonder when that update will hit the streets? | |
