" Traders who are labeled Pattern Day Traders must maintain at least $25,000 in equity in their account on any day that they place a day trade."
I believe there are some ways around this rule. There are a couple of brokers that will allow you to open an account that only has to maintain a level of $5k. The broker then loans you $20K and puts it in your account, so you have the required $25K, however, you can only trade with the original $5k you put in.
