Can you have a mixture between a CASH balance and Stocks to satisfy the PDT rule?
I just created my account, but have roughly $20k in CASH, and can look into transferring (if that is possible) my stock holdings that are valued at ~$15k.
I have only been trading using 2 CASH accounts, so this PDT rule is new to me, but cannot seem to find a suitable answer to this.
PDT rules are based on the total net equity in your account (cash + assets - losses). As long as the available account equity remains above 25k, you should be good to go! Keep in mind that even unrealized profits/losses contribute to your total account equity, so if your holdings have a bad day that drops their value enough you can run into PDT restrictions, even if you didn’t sell those assets for a loss.
