Are you a PDT if you buy and sell a particular security on mon.-tues.,wed.,
and thursday, and skip friday. Can you do the same thing next week?

Thanks,

You are "not" a PDT if you buy and sell any stock one time the same day on Tues, Wed and Fri.
Repeat these same days every week. If there is a 4-day trading week for market closure you must skip the next trade day in your weekly routine.

lizzydog, forget about PDT. Just open an account at prop broker, they don't care about PDT at all, you can day-trade with $5k having 1:10 leverage
