It is all grey area, I go off the definition of day trading:
1. the buying and selling of securities on the same day, often online, on the basis of small, short-term price [fluctuations](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=2afd3ac4ae6c0b30&sxsrf=AE3TifPfcAdqTm-JlS02xciNDQMI5H1BRg:1760031420894&q=fluctuations&si=AMgyJEteZp7BQEz0BAvgfpJJ2JtVWRSG7Qv-Mjl9Uzgo4URyS_F2_IijBou8MLtTAwY6HegeGyl_Yj870raWC5x-T1hUhdE4HLVNjNlZqJimnbT4ptbRs30%3D&expnd=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwja-4r905eQAxUICjQIHapIE6oQyecJegQIGxAS).
I have been trading in my tfsa for years.
It’s actually whatever the CRA deems to be day trading, swing trades count too. If ur constantly buying an option 1 week and selling it the following week, I cant see how that wouldn’t get flagged. I’m sure you can get away with saying I’m manage my TFSA like my own etf, all depends on the frequency of trades tho
A lot of people don’t know that.
He bought this yesterday and has held overnight, it’s no longer a day trade so totally fine in your TFSA. I’m assuming the CRA comment was a joke, but the only rules about TFSA is no day trading.
You can buy calls Monday and sell Tuesday for a 100,000% $10,000,000 gain and CRA won’t come knocking
