  3. The client is able to choose a date and select a schedule on which to invest (weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.). Trades are executed soon after open on the start date and continue on future dates based upon the schedule selected. If the market is closed on the schedule recurring investment date (for example a holiday or weekend) then the recurring investment will be scheduled for the next open market date. If the schedule of monthly, quarterly, or yearly is selected and the recurring investment date does not exist for the month (for example February 30) then the last date of the month will be used.
