T+2 settlement
Settlement is when a trade is actually completed: the money and the shares change hands. T+2 means it happens two business days after the trade date (T). Each market sets its own cycle (T+1, T+2…), so check which one applies to what you trade.
In pesos: If you sell shares on a Monday in a market that settles T+2, the pesos from that sale are fully yours on Wednesday, as long as there is no holiday in between.
