If I "buy to cover" and "buy" the same stock on the same day, is it considered a day trade? I know a buy/sell of the same stock is a day trade, but I've never heard much on the other side (short/cover)...

Any ideas on this? It seems like a buy to cover on the dip followed by a buy for the bounce would be seen as two buys and not a (buy/sell)... then again, I am new to this.

If you don't know the answer to your own question you shouldn't be daytrading.. perhaps you should swing or position trade.. below are suggestions for both trading styles (on a sidenote ask your broker):

I'm not able to day trade (low funds... plus I'd probably lose it more quickly ) , but I want to be careful and not break the rule.

Swing and/or Position trade... there is no law saying that to trade you must Daytrade.. in fact i would advise against it... anyways for Swing/Position trading read this:

I have another question on daytrading. I have restricted PAIV shares, and that combined with my other cash exceeds $25,000. Does that make me eligible for daytrading or does the rule state that you should have $25,000 in cash alone.
