JOIN ME LIVE AT 9 AM ET FOR: TRENDING THURSDAYS
There’s something brewing behind the scenes that most traders don’t even know about yet — and it could fundamentally change how we approach the markets.
I’ve been keeping tabs on this through some contacts in the industry, and what I’m hearing suggests we could see a major regulatory shift by 2026. The pattern day trading (PDT) rules that have restricted so many traders for years might finally be on their way out.
The PDT rule is an outdated restriction that says if your account balance is under $25,000, you can only make three day trades in a rolling five-day period. Step over that limit, and your broker locks you out unless you cough up the cash.
It’s an arbitrary barrier that punishes smaller accounts, forces traders into clunky workarounds, and makes zero sense when you compare it to how freely people are allowed to straight up gamble everywhere else.
I’ve been in touch with people at Tasty Trade, and their legal and compliance teams have been actively lobbying to eliminate these restrictions. They’re pushing to create what they call “a better environment for traders,” and from what I’m hearing, we could see PDT rules disappear entirely by 2026, possibly in Q1 or Q2.
The Double Standard That Makes No Sense
Here’s what really gets me about the current system — the complete inconsistency in how we regulate different forms of financial risk.
You can literally open a casino app on your phone right now and gamble real money on slots or other games that are mathematically rigged against you. You can bet on sports, put together 10-team parlays, wager on obscure international events and even things like elections.
All of this is perfectly legal and accessible 24/7.
But somehow, the same regulatory framework says you can’t freely trade your own investment capital in legitimate stock markets without jumping through hoops and meeting arbitrary account minimums.
That contradiction has never made sense to me, and it looks like the industry is finally pushing back on it in a meaningful way.
What This Could Mean for Traders
If these lobbying efforts succeed — and I think they will — it would remove one of the biggest barriers that smaller accounts face today.
Right now, PDT rules force traders with under $25,000 to either limit their activity, or find workarounds like opening multiple accounts with different brokers. That’s created an artificial divide in the market that doesn’t serve anyone’s interests.
Eliminating these restrictions would level the playing field and allow traders to manage their positions based on market conditions rather than regulatory constraints.
It’s about time.
I’m watching this closely as we move through the final quarter of 2025 and into the new year. This kind of regulatory shift doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it can change the entire landscape.
I’ll see you in the markets.

P.S. D.O.G.E. Can’t Save Us From the Debt Crisis
I was looking at the D.O.G.E. clock the other day…
From what it shows, it’s been able to save close to $650 billion with a target to save $2 trillion by July 2026.
Now let’s assume for a second that they succeed and by some miracle, our total debt doesn’t go up at all until then.
That still leaves us with over a third of a hundred trillion dollars in national debt.
These aren’t numbers anyone should overlook.
And when this massive pile comes crashing down…
Only those with regular “cash flow” will be able to keep up with higher gas and grocery prices, increased taxes, rent, bills and many more.
That’s why I’ve been trying to tee you in on my most consistent source of weekly cash flow from the market.
For six months running, we’ve not missed any of our shots at weekly income.
And right now, we’re setting up for the final trades of Q3 with a bunch more opportunities opening up in Q4.
There’s room for you to get in on the one opening up right now.
But first, I’d like to show you what goes into these weekly trades.
I’ll admit I can’t make any absolute guarantees on what happens in the future, but…
If you’d like to see more…
We develop tools and strategies to the best of our ability, but no one can guarantee the future. There is always a risk of loss when trading past performance is not indicative of future results. From 9/30/24 – 9/19/25 on live trades the win rate is 97%, 17% average return, with an average hold time of 12 days.
