The Features
Normal Trading vs Discretionary Financing Trading
In Normal Trading (T+2), if you do not settle your position by T+2 but wish to hold the same stock longer, a force-sell will be
triggered on the existing contract, and you must buy it again at the prevailing market price. Each rollover beyond T+2 creates a
new Buy and Sell contract, resulting in multiple Buy/Sell cycles (e.g., 3 Buys and 3 Sells) and higher trading costs.
