If you are normally trading 1000 shares or more then a $10 flat fee will be better than 1 cent per share. If your position size is less than 1000 shares or if you plan to scale out of trades in smaller lots then you should opt for the 1 cent per share offering.
Not being familiar with tradestation what is the minimum trade? Do the flat rates include exchange fees?

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Regarding your question on lot size and charge per share versus lots;
In my opinion it would depend on the price of the stocks you trade. I prefer
$20-90 range.
Additionally, are you trading for nickels and dimes?.. or dollars.
Finally, regarding fills on 1000 share lots, personally, I only trade stocks
with 1,000,000 avg daily. tigher spreads between bids and asks w volume.
Also, if you trade too early while there are still tails on your candlesticks, then you run
a searious risk of getting crappy fills in and out, IMO.
