Settlement and buying power | Robinhood

Settlement and buying power

The settlement period is the time it takes stocks or cash to reach their new destination after a transaction is executed. Buying power is the amount of money you have available to make purchases in your account.

Settlement

Stocks take 1 trading day to settle. You’ll need to wait 1 trading day to trade with funds from equity sales if you opted into a non-margin account. The default setting at onboarding is a margin account that allows you to trade with unsettled funds. Please bear in mind that margin accounts are subject to regulatory pattern day trading rules.

Note

US bank holidays can affect settlement times.

Buying power

You’ll find your buying power in your account by selecting Account (person icon). Buying power shows just below the overall portfolio chart in your account.
