I was going through Alpaca documentation and found this Pattern Day Trader Rule: if your account is less than 25k and you do 5 day-trades (buy+sell a stock during a day), your next order will be rejected. Maybe it is smth for future Zorro functionality?

You can avoid day trades script-side. Use is(NEWDAY), combined with an AssetVar to track whether you traded a given asset for the day.

Also, enable AutoConfirm in Zorro.ini.

Finally, open trades without stops. Only stop out a trade if your TMF confirms that a trade did not occur with that asset for the day.

You can also trade futures, which are not subject to such silly rules. Or better yet, get more capital. wink
