Wash-sale problem Etrade

Hello, 

During the earlier part of the ear I did a lot of high frequency  day trading, and still day trade a lot

 

looking at my taxable gains though on my Etrade, it shows that I have 300,000K of disallowed losses !!!! from wash sales.  It is true that engaged in a lot of wash sales but I only hold a few positions now and they are not associated with the disallowed losses

 

most of the disallowed losses were associated TVix, SQQQ, and Sdow day trades, and I don't hold any of those for the last several months

But it looks like the wash sales just kept accumulating whereas I don't see the allowed loss when I finally got rid of hte positions

I'm terrified! how can I get out of this?  My account is only about 250K total and its more or less net even for the year so how can this happen?  

How do I get out of this situation, is my broker misreporting and not adding to my final cost basis?  they are closed now on the weekend.

 

It doesn't make sense I still have washsales disallowences when no longer own the positions

 

Please Help!  thank you
