    It only applies to US stock brokers. It does not apply to US futures brokers. This is a US rule, so it only applies to the US.

    If your stock broker is regulated by FINRA, you will be subject to PDT rules.

The pattern day trader rule is a U.S. regulation established by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It applies to margin accounts with brokers in the U.S. Offshore brokers are not subject to SEC and FINRA rules.
