The PDT rule can be avoided by using a cash account. Unfortunately this prevents you from shorting but then again you could also have another separate account if you wanted for that.

There is no limit to your number of trades for a cash account you no longer have to wait three days for funds to settle. Now the wait time is only two days on stocks and one day on options. 

For example, Funds you trade stocks with on Monday are available on Wednesday and funds you trade options with on Monday are available on Tuesday.

If you do not understand options it's best to avoid as they have a tough learning curve.

 

If you only use 50% of your funds a day trading stocks in such an account you will never go over and be able to have a unlimited amount of trades.
