" ....teamed with Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited, an affiliate of the Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR), ...." ** “TradeStation Global” accounts are not available to residents of the United States or Japan. So once again we get screwed.
Still, it is an interesting development. Maybe a step towards a US partnership sometime in the future?
There is a price war going on with brokers and they are trying new things to survive. This may or may not work out. P.S. One can already use Multicharts with IB, but the TS community has a lot of useful codes.
