It doesn’t really, but a bigger account that isn’t at 25k yet (let’s say 5-10k) can still day trade as much as needed with extra cash that’s settled as opposed to violating the 3 same day trade rule if you’re margin.

Can you clarify this please. My understanding is 4 trades in a 5 business day period. If its the same stock you must wait two days. Otherwise there is a $25,000 minimum balance, (so more like $30,000), for no PDT flags. How can you "still day trade as much as needed"?

Is this only on certain platforms? I have TD ameritrade and a cash account and dont think they allow this.

Not sure man. I know webull and Robinhood allow it. It's all I use for trading. Keep some cash in reserves and trade with the rest. Funds from settled trades on are ready next morning

Webull will definitely let you do it. There’s an option in your settings, it does take like 5ish days for them to switch your account.
