I have a live account funded with over $25k and should meet the PDT requirements. Why am I unable to place any orders? Buying power is currently zero.
Here is a snapshot of what the account endpoint returns:

> buying\_power: ‘0’,

For anyone who lands on this issue - it took _several_ business days after adding money to my account for the issue to eventually resolve itself. There must be some internal delay even though the account shows that I met the $25k threshold for PDT.
