I've always been a long term investor, until recently when my summer boredom got me dabbling into day trading and now my brokerage has classified me as a pattern day trader. I know all the rules that apply to this, but my question is does the $25,000 get permanently locked in my brokerage account? Also if I want to declassify myself as a PDT then do I just hold the stock for 30 days?
