    Covered 70 shares of ABIO at 4:10 am from around 16.50 to 14.61 on Friday from an overnight short and neither the equity or profit I made from it reflected back to my account. I only paid $37 overnight fees so I know I didn't lose it from that. I should be having at least $500+ more in my account.

    I am using tradezero.

  2. Have you taken this into account: "Overnight Borrow: 5x market rate cost for 1st night"?

    Yeah, the cost was $37 I checked it in my history. I will show a ss if I had the time.

    When I covered at 4am on Monday my cash buying power did not come back which is normal. . I am worried if they just made an error and overlooked it. I asked support and they told me the funds will come back the next day at 7am. It's now 12:58pm. (I am left unable to trade properly as my account fell below their margin minimum and it's kinda pissing me off.)

  5. Tradezero is a scam. Leave whime you can. A questionable broker based on some island? Bad idea.

    So they will not cater to U.S. citizens, or even their OWN citizens. Man, that's messed up. God save the Queen (said Maggie one day).
