Where do I go to check if I have strikes against my account?

Thanks for reaching out to us on Discord! I’ll be glad to answer that for you today, but first, I’ve got a few clarifying questions to get out of the way. When referring to “strikes” is there anything specific you’re expecting? Such as a known restriction on your account? Or are you referring to specific trading restrictions that you may have?

Thanks for that clarifying information. There is actually a place where you can view any restrictions you may have. After login to Fidelity.com, look towards the bottom of your “Balances” tab where you should see “Trading Profile.” From here, you’ll be able to view any restrictions you currently have active on your account by clicking “Trade Restrictions & Violations” From your description of what happened, it sounds like you encountered what’s referred to as a Good Faith Violation (GFV). This is a pretty common warning message to get while trading. This occurs when you buy a security and sell it before paying for the initial purchase in full with settled funds. Only cash or the sales proceeds of fully paid for securities qualify as “settled funds.” Even though you may recieve this warning, you can typically still place the trade. Receiving the warning message also doesn’t mean you’ll be hit the with restriction either. If you’d like to learn more about the types of trading violations which you may encounter, and how to avoid them, feel free to check out this excellent link that I’ll include. It goes into pretty extensive detail!
