Screenturf
A trading toolkit for newly-unrestricted sub-$25K retail active traders: an intraday margin odometer, per-trade risk sizing, loss-limit alerts, a strategy journal, and a weekly execution-review report.
On April 23, 2026 the rule that legally barred small accounts from day-trading was eliminated, and millions of sub-$25K retail traders were suddenly free to trade intraday for the first time. They got the freedom overnight; they did not get the risk infrastructure that the old rule was, crudely, standing in for. So they are blowing through self-imposed loss limits, doing margin math in their heads, and learning their own mistakes the expensive way, one liquidated account at a time.
The newly-unrestricted sub-$25K retail active trader -- a consumer, not a company. There is no title and no budget line here; the spend competes with everything else in a personal discretionary wallet and the willingness to pay is tied to a single felt need: not destroying the account before the strategy gets a chance to work.
The FINRA Rule 4210 PDT elimination was approved on a specific date (April 23, 2026) with an entry-claimed 6-12 month first-mover wedge -- exact and named.
Pure self-serve consumer SaaS over verified broker APIs -- no heavy services layer, no enterprise sales motion.
A local community of size 7 with two cross-references and no inbound links -- present but not a dense convergence.
It is anchored to an exact, named, dated regulatory unlock that creates a user class from nothing, with verified broker APIs to build on -- a rare combination of a hard temporal window and a clean self-serve consumer surface.
The buyer is a no-budget, no-title consumer in a category (retail trading tools) with real B2C churn, the platforms could bundle equivalent features, and the incumbent-blindspot thesis is plausible but inferred rather than evidenced.
