  When a trader is flagged as a pattern day trader on TD Ameritrade, it means they have made four or more day trades within a five-day rolling period. This flag triggers certain restrictions on their account, including the requirement to maintain a minimum account balance of $25,000. However, this flag does not directly affect the ability to trade cryptocurrencies on TD Ameritrade. As long as the trader meets the minimum account balance requirement, they can continue to trade cryptocurrencies without any additional limitations.
