FAQ
How many day trades can I make under $25k?
Under the traditional PDT rule, 3 day trades in any rolling 5-business-day window in a margin account. A 4th flags the account if day trades exceed 6% of total trades.
Is the PDT rule still in effect in 2026?
FINRA approved replacing the pattern day trader (PDT) rule and its $25,000 minimum equity requirement with intraday-margin requirements, effective June 4, 2026. Brokers may phase the change in through October 20, 2027, so some brokers still enforce PDT limits. Check with your broker.
What counts as a day trade?
Opening and closing the same position in the same security on the same day in a margin account.
