I have asked this question of 3 Waterhouse folks and gotten a different answer each time. Can anyone help sort it out? Can I daytrade in excess of my listed margin "buying power". I've been told:
1. NO...you can get a 90 freeze for daytrading over your limit
2. Yes...but be sure to close out by day's end before your account is updated
3. Yes...trade as much as you want...only risk is a house or fed margin call

I'm assuming there is a SEC rule involved not just Waterhouse company policy. Any help?/
