Does forex have day trading rules?
Asked 5 years ago
Are there PDT rules like your account having to have a minimum of 25k, a limited amount trades, etc., in Forex?

Because NFA and FINRA do not have restrictions on day trading forex, futures options, or futures contracts, Futures Options are not subject to the same rules as other investing opportunities.
Because of NFA and FINRA regulations, covering margin on Futures, Futures Options, and Forex positions does not count toward the $25,000 minimum equity requirement for day traders.
So, let summarize:
Is there a PDT rule regarding foreign exchange trading?
The PDT rule does not apply to forex traders since it was designed exclusively for stockbrokers by FINRA.
