I'm…

I was under the impression that I have to wait for cash from any sales to settle before I can use that cash to buy a new investment. However I am making some movements around this week, and I noticed that II seems to be using "pending" cash to pay for my purchases. Have I misunderstood how this works? Maybe it will let me…
