What are the prerequisites of becoming a day trader?

As far as I know the only requirement is to have no less than $25,000 in your account. Call up your broker to be certain of all the requirements. I've heard of accounts being frozen for a short period of time because of accidental day trading. Most of the time, the larger brokers have great/friendly customer service.
