How can we help?

If I have been flagged as a Pattern Day Trader when can I resume trading?

If your account is flagged as a Pattern Day Trader (PDT) and your Net Liquidation Value (NLV) is below USD 25,000, the following restrictions apply:

- Flagged as PDT with $25,000 or less, you cannot open new positions, you can close existing positions only
- your 1st PDT violation, you will have a 5 business day lockout period unless you reset or fund the account up
- Your 2nd PDT violation (within 180 days), you be restricted for 90 calendar days unless you fund the account

You can start trading again if you,
- Deposit Funds, bringing the account equity to $25,000 or more, you will then be able to trade immediately
- Request a one time PDT Reset, you will be able to trade after 5 business days from the last day trade
- Wait out (do not request a reset or fund the account) 90 days from last day trade

Important information

- 1 PDT rest is allowed per 180 days
- You cannot reset again if you are flagged a second time within that period
- These rules follow NYSE and FINRA regulations
