I've seen you post answers to other peoples questions on this thread since I asked the above question. How 'bout an answer for me?
"In a future release of TradeStation, the Account Manager will fully reflect any trade-related charges, such as commissions, on a per trade basis in the Statistics Tab of the Account Manager. The only charges that will appear purely on the month-end statement are exchange/data fees and debit interest expense. " any idea when? Are you talking about V7?
Sorry Cashonly for the delay. I'm on the road - in New York for our seminar/workshop this weeked. Yes, this functionality is important to our customers and we are planning on adding it back in a future release. The next major release is release 7. I don't have a date for this release yet. As soon as we are closer, I will let the group know. Thanks, Janette Perez VP Sales TradeStation Securities
Janette Perez: I do not think anyone expects tradestation securities to compete with IB commission rates, but given the good name that tradestation platform has earned , I think you folks could add alot of emini futures volume if you can get your rt commissions under $6.00. Just my 2 cents.
i suspect there is a good chance that it costs them $6 per r/t so they need to charge a good wack on top to make a profit
easy........they don't 1.2 cents a share is A LOT more than what I pay or anyone in my offices pays. I pay much less than a penny and ISLAND and INCA pay me to trade there more often than I pay for an ECN fee. Robert
Can someone tell me how tradestation executes NASD e-mini AND S&P e-mini trades. Does the platform has straight through order processing with the CME computers? Or is some other method employed? Can execution of e-mini trades be fully automated or is a manual confirmation required? Thanks in advance,
Robert, Great overview of the differences between retail and professional traders. Thanks for your insight!
