Never heard of it. You must be subjected to a rule imposed by your broker.

OT: I don't think Canadians have the wash rule.

If You Were Trading A Stock

This type of trading would be the type of trades which would result in your being determined to be a day trader, and subject to the minimum account capital that daytraders now must maintain. As long as you are maintaining the capital in your account required (I don't recall the exact dollar amount - I can check it) you can have as many wash trades as you want.

Futures are not subject to the wash sale rules nor is there a minimum capital account balance other than the required "margin" amounts.

A. McClean, speak to your tax professional about this

The wash rule is more of an accounting rule than anything else. Although you can't deduct the loss for that particular losing trade, you add the loss to the basis of your next trade and it all comes out the same anyway.
