It's already applicable for Options Trading.

Not sure what you're talking about.

There is no restriction on being able to trade options with less than 25k in an account.

They mean that all the pattern day trading rules apply to options just the same as stocks, i.e. you cannot be an options day trader with less than 25k in the account.

The comment they replied to doesn't imply that it doesn't apply to options, it's clear they're saying restrictions will be added to options plays.

My apologies for the very limited words that I'd used earlier.

I'd indeed meant that the pattern day trade restrictions of USD 25k also applies to Options Traders who seek to day-trade Options in the U.S.

This was just my observation/information-sharing, and not a disagreement with anyone.
