Could you explain in simple terms what the PDT rule is all about? I'm not very familiar with technical jargon in the world of finance and cryptocurrency, so a layman's explanation would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, how does the PDT rule apply to cryptocurrency trading, and what kind of impact does it have on traders? Thank you in advance for your clarification.
