Does FINRA require you to close out day trades before COB?


I have been told that day trades must be closed every day they're opened. I.e. if you buy apple at 9 am, then you must close the position befors the end of normal trading hours. But I can't for my life confirm that on FINRA's website. Can somebody here confirm? If you want to swing trade off of earnings calls as a day trader, it seems kind if awful to be forced to close your positions if the rally takes place before during and slightly after the official earnings release (say 36 hrs for instance). Again, I did try doing my own research several times. Sorry if this is a stupid question!!
