Cullen Baker Comment On Regulatory Notice 24-13
Hello, I am a student who is interested in trading. PTD rules force me to use riskier trading products (futures/options/kalshi/etc) instead of buying selling equities.

Lowering the Pattern Day Trader (PDT) minimum threshold from $25,000 to $2,000 would create a more inclusive and equitable trading environment, enabling retail investors with smaller accounts to participate in day trading without unnecessary financial barriers. The current $25,000 requirement disproportionately favors wealthy individuals and institutions, effectively excluding everyday traders from leveraging the same opportunities to learn, grow, and profit in the market.
