Remind me why the PDT Rule exists.

I haven't seen anyone mention how much *less* intrusive is the PDT in 2019!
Keep in mind that $25k in 2001 is worth ~$36k in 2019

(Or conversely, the PDT is ~33% LESS intrusive today than it was in 2001!)

And much less when you discount it by the value of the market

 

Now you done it. They will probably increase the limit to $100k, now.

 

It's been 18+ years, amazed they haven't already.

Not that I've got 25K+ 18years later and if I had 25K+ and 4:1 margin 18years ago, I'd of had it for long.
