Wash sale question- selling the full lot

Hi- Any answers are much appreciated.

February 1- Buy 100 units of stock at 10 dollars

February 8- Buy 100 units of stock at 8 dollars.

February 15- Sell 200 units of stock (all of it) at 7 dollars.


Will this trigger a wash sale? My understanding is that it will not because there are no remaining positions to transfer the loss to.

I can repurchase a similar security from March 16th onward, without triggering a wash sale also, right?


Thanks!!!
