I am interested in making day trades with virtual currencies on Robinhood, but I want to know if there are any restrictions or limitations. Can I make 4 day trades in a week without any consequences? Are there any specific rules or regulations I should be aware of?

    When it comes to day trading with virtual currencies on Robinhood, there are indeed restrictions. If you make four or more day trades within a five-business-day period and the day trades represent more than 6% of your total trading activity for that same five-day period, you will be considered a pattern day trader. As a pattern day trader, you must maintain a minimum equity of $25,000 in your account. If your account balance falls below this threshold, you will be restricted from day trading until you bring your account balance back up to $25,000 or above. It's important to understand and comply with these regulations to avoid any potential consequences or limitations on your trading activities.
