Do pattern day trading rules apply for
Futures only trading ( Index / Commodity and Currency)
Options on Futures ( Index / Commodity and Currency)

IB say following but does not expressly say if it applies to Futures or not?
I mean futures traders scalp all the time with small a/c!

Pattern Day trading rules apply to the following products:

US Stocks, US Stock and Index Options, US Warrants, US T-Bills, US Bonds, or US Single Stock Futures
 
It does not apply to futures or index / commodity options.
I was told by IB that it applies to ALL OPTIONS if you have Margin T acount and if you have Cash a/c it does not but then you wont get the settled fund until T+1
