Just curious how stringent personal account trading policies are at EBs? Is there a typical 30 day minimum hold, or are trading activities okay as long as the stock you're trying to trade is not on the firm's blacklist?
I would think that EBs have less stringent trading restrictions than BBs, given their lack of a securities business but please if someone could confirm that would be great

Hey 10x Leveraged, I think you deserve a response...heck, everyone does. We're listening, sorry about the delay ...my best guess at places on WSO that could help:
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
bumppp (to those working at EBs please!)
Have to pre-clear and hold for 30 days, ETFs excluded from this.
So would you say the following statements are correct: - If it's an ETF, you can trade the ETF / underlying option at will, with no minimum day hold and no need for pre-clearance. - if it's an individual stock, you need to get pre-clearance, and you have a minimum 30 day hold that applies to both the stock as well as the underlying options
Just skimmed the policy and seems like all derivatives are subject to 30 day hold too. But yes otherwise seems accurate.
