Topstep now offers trading on Tradestation both on the tryouts and the funded accounts so Tradestation must have some kind of risk monitoring available like Rithmic or Topstep wouldn't be using it

Can you offer Tradestation as well?

Earn2Trade 

We're working on both of these situations... Stay tuned!

Hi,

I am considering starting a mini-gauntlet and I would like to trade positions mixing MES and ES at the same time.
How would you apply commissions in such a case? Is your simulation ready for applying the corresponding commission to each product?
Thanks,

Tradestation is a brokerage not a platform so Helios would have to open an account with them and we would have to discuss with them about paper trading. This is one of the first requests we've had for Tradestation so it's not currently on our radar but we'll add it to our list of requests!

Yes, you can request support to adjust your commissions to "real" commissions and you'll get them applied per product.

Going to have to disagree with you there. Tradestation is definitely a trading platform as well as a brokerage

I think if you took a survey of existing users of earn2trade as well as prospective users you would find alot of interest in using/offering Tradestation.

They also have a very robust paper trading section within their platform

Traders have to think also about what platform they can use to make money after passing the tryout and certain platforms give traders additional advantages. Since Earn2Trade seems to not be able to make a deal with Tradovate because of Topstep's relationship with them and since it is impossible to use Ninja Trader (unless you already own a multi-platform lifetime license purchased before July 2014) perhaps Earn2Trade could instead make a deal with Tradestation

It would only be possible to use NinjaTrader with Earn2Trade if you purchased lifetime license key before July of 2014. Otherwise, it would not be possible to use the Rithmic connection with any third-party trading firms.

NinjaTrader's Terms of Service Agreement states that license keys are nontransferable. As a result, it would not be possible for you to buy a license key from another individual that would allow you to access Earn2Trade. Doing so would result in the termination of that license key.

What I meant by that was... we can't just add them as a platform using our existing infrastructure with Rithmic. They only support Tradestation accounts.
