THE 🇺🇸 SEC HAS APPROVED THE ENDING OF THE $25,000 PATTERN DAY TRADER RULE
The rule that required $25,000 in your account to make more than 3 day trades in 5 days is gone.
FINRA will replace it with modern intraday margin standards that focus on actual risk exposure, not arbitrary account minimums.
What changes:
• No more $25,000 minimum equity requirement
• No more "pattern day trader" designation
• No more counting your trades to avoid being flagged
• Brokers can use real-time monitoring to manage risk instead of outdated trade-counting rules
The new rules take effect 45 days after FINRA publishes its notice, with an 18-month phase-in for brokers.
This is the biggest change to retail trading rules in over two decades.

@StockMarketMcro What negotiations? Iran isn't negotiating until Israel and Lebanon stop fighting. Lebanon is coming to the US next week so Vance is just eating dates in Pakistan right now.
