Recent news:
- As of April 2026, the SEC approved a FINRA proposal to eliminate the Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rule, removing the requirement for a minimum balance to make more than three day trades in a five-day period. Instead of a flat equity requirement, new risk-based margin standards will require traders to maintain sufficient equity for their real-time exposure. - More people will participate more often in the day trade - overall trade volumn will be increased - Robinhood would have more revenue.
- President Donald Trump announced that the leaders of Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire, which comes as fighting raged between Israel and Tehran-backed militant group Hezbollah. - This is improvement on the market sentiment which will make people trade more often - Robinhood would have more revenue.
Assumptions

- The cost structure would not have major change so I would assume a similar level profit margin as today.
