Reg T margin calls I am classified as a Pattern Day Trader. In the past 2 months, i have been hit with a number of Reg T calls which, in my opinion, are eronerous. At the end of each trading day - 8 PM or earlier, I make sure I cover enough positions to show a positive stock buying power and eliminate the potential Reg T call. On a number of occasions, I then get a Reg T call the next day. Is the number showing in the account one which should be reliable to be in compliance. Anyone else having this problem? BTW: Anyone have any experience with Power e trade and how it compares to Ameritrade?
