The rules just changed for day traders... which is an opportunity for long-term thinkers too.
Yesterday, April 14, 2026, the SEC removed the $25,000 pattern day trading rule, allowing accounts with $2,000 to day trade freely without facing "number of trades" restrictions.
If you don't know anything about day trading, this rule has always been the blockade to retail traders learning how to day trade. Unless you have a spare $25,000 to get started with.
According to the Federal Reserve's 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances, the median savings balance in the US is around $8,000. For people under 35, it is $5,400.
I said "median" and not "average" because the average is skewed heavily by high-net-worth individuals. Therefore, the median serves as the more accurate middle ground.
The people that need the most help simply don't have the resources to get started, let alone the guidance to turn it into a successful venture. Until now.
That's why this decision is a big deal. That barrier is now gone.
