Since after the first sale, I have a remaining shares which were purchased within 30 days of the sale, but they do get sold later in the day. All losses. ? Trigger wash sale rule ??

If I understand correctly, you bought multiple lots of the same stock on different dates.  After the last purchase, you sold all the stock for a loss.  The sale was executed as two separate transactions on the same day.  Because you sold all of your shares, the wash rules would not apply, unless you repurchased the shares within 30 days or less.
