Personal Account Trading Restrictions at EBs?

Just curious how stringent personal account trading policies are at EBs? Is there a typical 30 day minimum hold, or are trading activities okay as long as the stock you're trying to trade is not on the firm's blacklist?

I would think that EBs have less stringent trading restrictions than BBs, given their lack of a securities business but please if someone could confirm that would be great

So would you say the following statements are correct: - If it's an ETF, you can trade the ETF / underlying option at will, with no minimum day hold and no need for pre-clearance. - if it's an individual stock, you need to get pre-clearance, and you have a minimum 30 day hold that applies to both the stock as well as the underlying options
