PLEASE HELP - Our live account has incorrectly been set to `pattern_day_trader’: True and as a result some of our trades are denied due to pattern day trading protection. The account equity is > $25k and we are not making any day trades (buying and selling stock in the same day) from the account. Our holding times are 1 week or more. Please set `pattern\_day\_trader’: False for the account
