    Stocks on the Nasdaq and the rest of the USA exchanges are at T+1, transaction date plus one day. So they settle the next business day not in 2 to 3 days like you mentioned.

      Dlr is canada and takes 3 days.

      And even a +1 day is a long time. And then there’s weekends and holidays. So you could do something on Thursday, Fridays a holiday, so then it’s Monday is the +1 and you are settled and complete on Tuesday morning.

      A lot can happen between a Thursday morning trade and Tuesday morning, and a lot can happen in a regular +1 day. The markets don’t really care about non business days and shit happening.

      Same day within minutes settlement would be huge.
