More competitive, nice! Also, if your check their revenu for the same period of the last year, we can see that the people trade a lot more with their new fee per action rather than their old ticket. Equities Account Statistics Q2 02 Q1 02 % Increase Average daily revenue trades 7,122 3,824 86% Average daily share volume 6,649,000 4,452,000 49% A proof that lower don't mean less revenue! Hope that their competitors will do it also!
Finally an alternative to IB, perhaps this will now give IB a reason to provide a decent level of customer service without time wasting push button menus and long waits.
I do see that they increased the amount of shares you need to trade per month to get free software form 150k to 250K. Those are good rates, though. I like seeing this trend.
Any existing TradeStation Securities clients care to comment on order execution quality, decision support quality and overall value?
That commission structure is still terrible. I don't know how you people deal with such outrageous costs. Oh well, they have to make money from someone.
