Pattern Day trader(PDT)

An account is designated as a Pattern Day Trader if it makes four (4) day trades within five (5) business days and day trading activities are greater than 6 percent of its total trading activity for that same 5 day period. Day trades less than this criteria will not flag the account for PDT.

If you are designated as a pattern day trader, a $25,000 minimum equity requirement must be deposited in the account prior to any day-trading activities and maintained in your account at all times.

In order to prevent Alpaca Brokerage Account customers from unintentionally being designated as a Pattern Day Trader (PDT), the Alpaca Trading platform checks the PDT rule condition every time an order is submitted from a customer. If the order could potentially result in the account being flagged as a PDT, the order is rejected, and API returns error with HTTP status code 403 (Forbidden). This protection triggers only when the previous day’s closing account equity is less than $25,000 at the time of order submission.

In addition to the filled orders, the Alpaca system also takes into consideration pending orders in the account. In this case, regardless of the order of pending orders, a pair of buy and sell orders is counted as a potential day trade. This is because orders that are active (pending) in the marketplace may fill in random orders. Therefore, even if your sell limit order is submitted first (without being filled yet) and another buy order on the same security is submitted later, this buy order will be blocked if your account already has 3 day trades in the last 5 busines.
