Traders outside of the U.S. have the great advantage over their counterparts that accounts below $25,000 are not subject to the pattern day trader (PDT) rule and the 4:1 intraday-margin limitation for non-professional traders.
In the comparison table below, you’ll find a selection of no PDT rule brokers with minimum deposits starting as low as $1,000. Furthermore, they offer anywhere from 6:1 up to 30:1 leverage plus ultra-low volume-based commissions and direct market access, which allows you to route your orders to specific destinations, access various dark pools, and also receive rebates for providing liquidity.
In a nutshell, you’re getting professional conditions without the need of a large account or a prop trading firm.
