"free ride" question
I bought some share of a stock at $10.45 on Monday. On Wednesday, I sold it at $11.50. Now I want to use the proceeds to buy more shares of that stock at $10.45 again using a limit order. But when I try to place the order, Scottrade warns that I have unsettled funds and placing the order will be considered a free ride under some Federal Regulation T. Not sure what that means. Are there any consequences to placing the order?
