Taking away the minimum USD 25,000 minimum balance for active margin trading, allows millions of small balance traders to participate in intraday strategies previously reserved for the wealthy.
However this could be a double edged sword. Without the PDT barrier, undercapitalised traders can more easily access margin & leverage, which can wipe out small accounts in seconds if a trade goes wrong.
Ultimately it is up to individual's execution skill and discipline when trading without the PDT barrier.
The new rules, expected to take full effect in late 2026, will shift the burden of responsibility from a fixed regulatory "Big Brother" to the individual trader.
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ will certainly benefit from this rule due to a possible surge in trade volume from small accounts.
It is time to buy more TIGR shares.
