From*

"FINRA’s draft proposal would:

Reduce the minimum account equity for pattern day trading from $25,000 to $2,000

Eliminate the blanket three-trade limit over five days

Allow individual broker-dealers to set their own minimum thresholds above $2,000 and determine house-level risk controls"

Proposal needs approval from SEC.
