Can you buy and sell futures while working as a summer analyst?

Sup y'all, just started and I know that if we buy stocks, we have to hold them for at least 30 days. Does the same hold true when it comes to trading futures, or are you allowed to day trade them?

I’m going to skip the snarky comments and try to be helpful: ask your compliance department. No one on this site, without knowing where you work, the group/division/etc, is going to be able to give you an answer. And if they did, and it was in conflict with your actual policy, you’d lose your internship, why in the world would you run that risk? Go directly to the source, don’t waste time here.
