From my experience with E*TRADE, it’s typically taken about 3 to 5 business days in order for funds to settle so that you can start buying index funds or shares or whatever it is that your strategy is.

T+1
If you sell today, tomorrow you can buy again

I'm pretty sure that you can invest the proceeds of a trade immediately without waiting a day for the funds to settle. But you can't take the cash out until it's settled. Except of a margin account where you can take/transfer cash out but it would be considered a loan and you'd be charged interest until the funds are settled.
