The End of the $25k PDT Rule

The trading landscape is about to undergo its most significant regulatory shift in over two decades. On June 4, 2026, the legacy Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rule—and its restrictive $25,000 minimum equity requirement—will be eliminated and replaced by modernized, risk-based intraday margin standards.

For years, the "3 trades in 5 days" limitation has acted as a barrier for retail investors. This transition marks a shift from trade counting to real-time risk monitoring, allowing for greater capital efficiency and empowerment for traders with smaller accounts.
