> Pattern Day Trade Protection alerts you when you’ve placed three day trades and you’re about to place your fourth. You’ll have the option to proceed with your trade, or cancel it to avoid being marked as a pattern day trader.

On your third day trade in the five-day window, we’ll remind you that you’ll be marked as a pattern day trader if you place one more day trade within the five days of your first day trade.
