That's right. By buying out-of-money BSC call options on March 17th and held through several overnights. |

Actually, years ago when I was working with Teresa Lo, she recommended that beginners with very little money start with options on whatever underlying they were interested in. Granted this was during The Madness, and options occupy their own little niche and require their own learning curve, but it's something to think about.
As for the PDT, I hope that that will eventually be rescinded. As far as I've seen ever since it was imposed, beginners are just as naive, they ask the same questions, make the same mistakes, lose just as much just as often. The only appreciable difference is that they've been forced into other markets which are even worse, like goo through a pastry tube.
In any case, one could borrow whatever's required to open a futures account, then withdraw nearly all of it. Depends on how badly one wants to learn how to trade futures.
