Did you fall under $25,000 account balance during the day? Because if you do that can trigger the PDT rule.

I have a margin account with TD Ameritrade & my account value is over 26k. I have 0 margin balance but I’m still being held under pdt. Can you explain?

I know for sure I haven’t in the last 5 trading days. I think I’ll just call and get my account switched to cash. Maybe the margin is the problem. Thanks for the advise!
