Infolode, I had a similar ID on MoneyTec, called Overload.
SEC's PDT scheme was the best thing that could have happened to me.
little over 2-years ago, due to a career change, I decided to take another hard look at trading stocks.
years before, I had traded the NASDAQ for 3-months before going belly-up due to DATEK's failing brokerage/servers always freezing my trades, rules that allowed industrial guys to get news 30-minutes before retail traders could, the NASDAQ constantly stopping stocks from being traded due to some volatility issue, limited number of stocks to short, and a general, overall lack of knowledge about how to trade.
I too didn't have enough money to meet the PDTs requirements so I got into forex.
with forex there's no rules - it's unregulated (in the sense of being able to access the global market), has no short rule, trading is
never halted, currencies are traded 'round the clock 24/7, 365 days a year (the global market never "closes"), and you can literally get into it for a few hundred dollars.
due to there being no set "commissions" you are not paying a $15 brokerage fee when you open a trade and another $15 when you close the same trade.
you may want to consider forex trading as an alternative to stocks.
also, once I
burned in trading strategies, methods and techniques trading currencies, trading stocks, even the most volatile NASDAQ ones, is like child's play.
after 2-years in the ForEx furnace, I can trade stocks blind-folded, with one hand tied behind my back, and still destroy equity market benchmarks.
I don't even have to know what the stock is, I could trade it successfully short or long by you
telling me its quotes
only.
If you want to get into forex you can download a demo(s) that provides you with real-time, live currency quotes.
msg me and I will be happy to set one up for you.
best regards,
