Can IB Accounts in the US have TradeStation Integration?

Is it possible to trade IB accounts in the US using TradeStation trading platform?

 

Tradestation is it's own brokerage and their platform is for their clients. I wont definitively state it, but I'm fairly certain they arent going to allow another brokerage use of their platform like some 3rd party, such as NinjaTrader, but maybe I'm wrong. I use Tradestation daily.

 

There are 62 FCMs, TS is one; none share.

 

I assumed he was thinking Tradestation's platform is like Ninjatrader which I know allows the use of their platform over different Futures brokerages. I wasn't completely sure the Tradestation platform was proprietary property, but was pretty sure. I can understand his want of the platform though. It is top notch imo.

 

I know that for IB accounts in Europe, such integration exists.

Tradestation int. uses IB data which is notoriously bad . There are also other things like higher commissions.. Unfortunately there is not currently available any good TS-IB bridge. Slow smtp protocol which give up any control of your orders, no advance algo available etc. It may change soon though.
