No, pattern trading is not against the law! The government has characterized it as highly dangerous, and as a result, they created the PDT rule to safeguard investors' money.

They do not prohibit margin accounts or trading with accounts that have less than $25,000 in capital, but they will try to regulate them as much as possible.
