Our Response to the PDT Rule Change.

The Pattern Day Trader rule is changing, and the industry is changing with it.

Many firms are responding by lowering account minimums, opening access to smaller accounts, or expanding their day trading offering to a broader group of users.

At CenterPoint, we have deliberately chosen to maintain our current account requirements.

This decision reflects our commitment to the traders we serve. Our platform, service model, technology, and resources were designed around the needs of active traders who require more than basic market access.

Our clients rely on us for fast support, responsive service, premium trading tools, and access to resources that are difficult to scale without compromising quality.

That level of care is not accidental.

It is the result of maintaining a focused client base and building the business around traders who meet our account requirements.

CenterPoint clients benefit from:

  • Fast phone support, answered within two rings on average.
  • Responsive email support from a team that understands active traders.
  • Access to CenterPoint Edge, including ~$7,500 in free trading tools.
  • Extensive locate access for traders who need reliable short inventory.

Our focus remains on preserving the quality, responsiveness, and resources that have made CenterPoint a trusted platform for serious traders.

We understand that many traders are excited about the changing PDT landscape, and we believe broader access to the markets can be a good thing when done responsibly.

For those seeking a zero-minimum platform, we recently launched the Clear Street Trading App, a web and mobile platform featuring Omni AI, an integrated risk-and-research engine.

The industry is changing. Our standard is not.

CenterPoint will continue to serve serious, active traders who value premium tools, responsive support, strong locate access, and a service experience built around their needs.
