Could be.

Nope.

You can stop whenever? Obviously I know this. Windows are just further restrictions to add to the schedule. I'm certainly not an expert, but I dunno why the concept of combining restrictions is so hard to comprehend.

You're on your own for the rest of the misinterpretations though. I think those ones are easier if you think a little harder about it.

Because the existing restriction, is already, more restrictive, than windows. How is this so hard.

Like honestly. Let's say Daniel Ek's 10b5 says he will sell 10,000 shares on 1/1, 3/1, 6/1, and 9/1 of 2023.

What on earth would adding trading windows do to make that more restrictive?

You're asking for a 50mph speed limit when the car's max speed is 25. It's completely pointless and accomplishes nothing.
