This is absolutely ridiculous.PDT rules create undo burden and increase the level of risk and loss associated with trading. Having a required $25,000 minimum was an already ridiculous standard, increasing that to $100,000 would be absurd. This is the type of wealth discrimination that allows for the rich to prosper at the exact expense of the average person.When breaking news occurs and a stock
The current system is completely rigged against the small retail investor. Short sellers trade synthetic shares and naked shorts back and forth to one another- which creates downward pricing pressure on a stock. How does my 1 share compete against a Short Sellers 1 share that converts into 1000 synthetic shares? How is it possible 3X, 4X, 5X etc the entire float can be traded- with the large
