Can I evade the pattern day trader rule by using multiple brokerages?

I’ve already turned $1,000 into $1,400 in a week by gambling on penny stocks. I have zero interest in trading on margin, and I don’t have $25,000 to put in my Robin Hood account because the bulk of my savings are in a Money Market Fund, Bitcoin, and metals. I am acutely aware that I’m most likely to lose money and I don’t care. If I risked $1,000 on scratch offs or blackjack, nobody would bat an eye. But I had to make 4 trades last Friday- 2 to cut my losses on stocks that weren’t winning, and then 2 to cash out stocks that were winning before the market closed, because after hours losses over the weekend are not worth the risk. I like to pull out once I’ve exceeded a certain goal amount, and I can’t do that after hours.

I’m sure some anon has tried setting up accounts with multiple brokers. Did it work?

I'm pretty sure the PDT rule only effects you if you have PM.

You're trading penny stocks in a bear market. There's a reason they have that rule, it's to protect you from yourself.

1 - nobody cares about some plebe trading $1000 on penny stocks

2 - if your stupid brokerage account has an issue with just sign up for a schwab account and don't worry about it. As a matter of fact, they will likely offer you advice on how to do it better (pro tip: don't follow their advice)

Thanks. Just did it. I’ve been day trading so I can get the rush of taking stupid risks without actually risking much money.
