This rule is going to classify MOST investors as day-traders.

Who - particularly when getting started - hasn't traded 4 round trips in a 5-day period?

Watch tens of thousands of accounts re-classified as "day-trading" when some unexpected news - war, etc - hits and people second-guess the decisions they'd made a few days earlier.

I dunno what the effect is going to be - to deny access to the markets to people with only a few thousand dollars to put into the market, or to cause those people to stick their necks out and borrow money to meet the requirement.
