A14 & PDT-Rule

[O16]

Hi all, Hi Amy, just one question: During the time A14 has been traded in the alert service, was PDT rule at any time a problem for smaller accounts (not larger than 10k or even 6k)? I`m aware of the possibility to "box" out of the problem.

Thanks for kind replies

In theory the PDT should not be an issue as long as the underlying is not whipsawing and have to make adjustments every day on exactly the same option for 4 days in a row As far as the box trade I would not use that to offset the trade as it will require more margin I would either close it or make a different adjustment using nearby strikes

Thanks for the kind reply. Still I wonder if the PDT rule was a possible problem in reality up to now.

Thanks
