    A newbie question. Is it possible to place a couple day trades with a limited margin account, like IRA with IB?

    Maybe just 2-3 trades. Not regular day trading.
     
  2. If your account is over 25K you can day trade but not short. You can trade options, futures etc. if you are under 25k you are more limited and must adhere to PDT rules.

    I see the day trade left is "unlimited". So I assume it is fine.
