Trade Cancellation Request: You can cancel a trade using the Order Cancellation Request form. After you submit this form to inform us of problem or erroneous trades, we will report these trades to the appropriate exchange on a best efforts basis. Please note that this is a time-sensitive process. Most exchanges have very short time periods (as little as 8 minutes), during which they will accept a request for cancellation.

Pattern Day Trader Request: If the account is eligible for a PDT reset, a window will populate advising that the account is eligible. The window will show the four day trades that were executed in the last 5 business days, and it will also provide the Pattern Day Trading Reset Request Acknowledgment. Check the box that says “I have read and consent to the acknowledgment” and click the green “Send Reset Request” button.
