Dan,

Maybe this would help him. This taken right from Rule 2520. It prohibits using closed out positions to open new positions while daytrading in a cash account. We already knew this BUT doesn't this imply that if you can't do it in a cash account...that you can do it in a margin account which is what day trading is all about anyways. If using closed out positions to open new positions while daytrading was also not allowed in a margin account...wouldn't it specifically prohibit the same activity in a margin account also? This is the best argument I can come up with for now.

9) Free-Riding in Cash Accounts Prohibited

No member shall permit a customer (other than a broker/dealer or a “designated account”) to make a practice, directly or indirectly, of effecting transactions in a cash account where the cost of securities purchased is met by the sale of the same securities. No member shall permit a customer to make a practice of selling securities with them in a cash account which are to be received against payment from another broker/dealer where such securities were purchased and are not yet paid for. A member transferring an account which is subject to a Regulation T 90-day freeze to another member firm shall inform the receiving member of such 90-day freeze.
