I'm concerned about how this might affect my trading activities. What happens if Robinhood flags you as a day trader?

Being flagged as a pattern day trader (PDT) can have certain restrictions on your trading activities.

Despite being labeled as a PDT, individuals still have the option to enroll in the brokerage cash sweep program.

It's important to note that as a PDT, you won't be eligible to earn interest on your funds while they are in a margin account.

If you happen to get flagged as a PDT while already enrolled in the brokerage sweep program, there will be consequences.

Specifically, your cash will be removed or "swept back" from the program banks. This means that your funds will no longer be participating in the sweep program.
