If I'm a non-us citizen (trading from a non-us location) and I want to day trade non-us markets, and I've opened a US brokerage account. Would I still be subjected to SEC daytrade regulations of a minumum account balance of $25K and be classified a day trader if I trade 4 or more trades over a 5 day period?
SEC rules apply to broker/dealers, if you trade using a US Broker/dealer you are subject to the SEC rules and regulations.
All customers using US Broker/dealers would have to follow the rules that dictate policy & procedures to that broker/dealer.
If you going to play in the US, directly or indirectly, you have to play by the rules
