As is the case with stocks if you plan to daytrade 4 or more times over a 5 day period,does one need to have at least $25k in their account to daytrade stock options?And what about stock index options?

Atorchio;
May want to think about the fact that most of the[non market maker] money made is NOT being traded more than 4 times a week;
however you could double your trading frequency which may or may not be wise by 2 - $ 12 k accounts
at different company accounts.

Quote from c_verm:
Every trader must have minimum $25K in their trading account if you want to place 4 or more daytrades in a 5 day period. For example you must have 25K if you want to day trade US stocks, US options, US ETF's, CANADIAN stocks & options ect..
Hope this helps
I assume that this also applies to index options as well?
Maybe I'm missing some great truth, but I rarely see where daytrading the option beats daytrading the stock itself. You just wind up paying the fat spread to the MM's,
There are some rare instances where the option is mispriced in front of spiking volitility in the stock, so if you're very fast, you might capture that.
