Client asks, "If I make 4 day trades in a day, am I flagged as a PDT now?". What do we tell him? 

Day trade counting, PDT designations, and the 25k minimum equity requirements are eliminated for margin accounts, meaning the PDT designations are obsolete. Clients can day trade freely within their buying power limits.

A client with a blue / ROE account calls on Friday, June 12th saying "I wasn't eligible to participate in the SpaceX IPO and now your system isn't letting me buy at the market!". Assume he has cleared cashed to cover. Why is the system blocking this trade?

Clients on the DOMS (Legacy Blue OME/ROE) router are subject to slightly delayed quotes. Because of that, on the first day of an IPO, they are prohibited from entering market buy orders. Green accounts receive real-time quoting and do not have that restriction.

During Phase 1, if a client is above $25,000 in equity, will they use margin buying power for determining how much they can leverage for day trades or Day Trade Buying Power? What happens if they fall below 25K during Phase 1? 

They will still use Day Trade Buying Power. If the account dips below 25K before Phase 2 rolls out, the PDT flag and DTBP will be removed and the client will use marginable/stock buying power (2x in most cases) for day trades.
