Hmmm... my Vanguard account doesn't work that way. If I initiate a buy using external funds (from my bank), the actual purchase doesn't happen until the funds clear in ~2 days. It will just show "pending".

That’s exactly what it is. What confuses me is the comment I was replying to doesn’t seem to have this for their Vanguard account?
