I was looking for a broker that offers these things: 1. API for performing transactions from a script 2. No PDT rule 3. Low minimum deposit for a margin account (Able to short) But I could not find any others than IB, which requires you to have at least 25.000$ in equities to surpass the PDT rule. A little help finding some brokers would be appriciated. I am a non-US resident as well. Asset class: Stock
