Under the FINRA rule change, which removes day trading margin requirements and replaces them with intraday margin standards, an Intraday Margin Deficit (IMD) is applicable to Reg T margin accounts and assessed on an account basis. However, the determination of whether a client is making a practice of failing to satisfy an IMD "as promptly as possible" is made across all associated Reg T margin accounts of the client.
Please Note
- This means that the client is potentially subject to restrictions starting with the fourth instance.
