Was thinking of using something like SureTrader or TradeZero (I'm not an American) just to avoid PDT and the settlement date issue. I'd essentially not be over leveraging my account as I'll only trade with what I have. In a way, I'll only be using "margin" to continue day trading while waiting for my sell orders to settle. Any flaws with this?
