PDT lockdown day 5 Well - tomorrow the account will be available for trading. I am so outraged by this PDT fiasco that I cannot wait to begin this crusade to abrogate this hypocrisy. My goal in this account, and in opening the Journal was to actively trade it all year, and have >75000 at...

Thanks WHY was it enacted? Can you spell: HYPOCRISY !? soon as I get time to begin drafting my paperwork this long weekend- I will also post the pertinent information from the Fed. Reg so we all can laugh at how the guys at NASD, SEC NYSE feel they allegedly have a paternal...

Excellent- thanks for the input
