    t +3 is a bit of a fallacy with some brokers particularly online banks.

    You buy today and it must settle in t +3. Doesn't matter if you sell tomorrow because it won't settle in time.
    Not sure how tolerant a bank would be if you did it regularly?
    I also don't know how upset they would be if a day or two late but I would think any trading that you don't have the funds to back is about as crazy as you can get.
    You may get away with it for a while but one day it is going to burn you badly.
    I certainly wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
    Nothing wrong with using the leverage of margin if you know what your doing but t + 3 is just too risky imo.
