As announced by The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) and the national options exchanges, due to the National Day of Mourning on January 9, 2025, the Contrary Exercise Advice (CEA, also known as “Expiring Exercise Declaration” or EED) cut-off time for options that expire on January 9, 2025, will be modified as follows:
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. Most of my strategies surround the S&P but because I cant trade the S&P more than a couple times a week I am forced to used riskier products that fit my needs. Please change this rule!
If the rule was really meant to "protect" people from losing money, they wouldn't allow gambling in this country. The rule forces people to put more money into brokerage accounts than is really necessary. It also creates a socioeconomic barrier to becoming a trader.
Hopefully someday they reconsider it
Re: Request for Comment on Day Trading Rules (Regulatory Notice 24-13)
To Whom It May Concern:
Jake P. Noch Family Office, LLC. (“JPN Family Office” or “we”) appreciates the opportunity to comment on FINRA’s review of the rules governing day trading and pattern day trading (the “Rules”). We commend FINRA for periodically reassessing the Rules in light of evolving market conditions, technological advances, and shifts in investor behavior.
We write to express our support for two key principles:
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.
As a reminder, FINRA Rule 4517 requires firms to complete an annual verification of their FINRA Contact System (FCS) contact information within the first 17 business days of each calendar year. Please log in to FINRA Gateway and perform your annual verification. This year’s deadline is Monday, January 28, 2025.
