Gentlemen Did Tradestation have proprietary trading desk for stock,future and options or she is pure agent for this product ? Author would very pleased for answer.
Afaik they don't run any trading desk. They don't offer capability for automated trading in Forex Spot yet, but to be functional early next year Once they do, i believe Thousands of retail accounts will be opened at Tradestation ,because most Forex brokers don't offer any decent forex charting and signal automation I don't thing even then chance of runing a desk, because they are more busy with platform and brokerage developments
