Description
Currently, the PDT rules can inhibit a user from placing a 'sell' order if a user has no daytrading buying power. If that order however, is placed after hours without extended trading, it won't fill until the next day. It won't therefore create a day trade.
Currently, these orders need to be placed after 12:00 (ie the following day) to not be rejected.
Can an exception be put in place to allow placing after market hours orders?
There was a [forum post](https://forum.alpaca.markets/t/submit-trailing-stop-denied-due-to-pattern-day-trading-protection/3871/5) from a user who had to wait until after midnight to submit their sell orders.
