From their website, it seems like their latest 0% offerings TS-Select and TS-Go platforms are only available for US residents.
Looking for options outside the US (e.g. UK), they have Tradestation Global. This seems to link with IB for data. Is this the only option for Non-US customers ?
And do they offer the option of just using the platform for charts, radarscreen, matrix etc > rather than using them as a brokerage ?
I have contacted them via email, but sadly no reply.
Just wondering if anyone is using them outside the US and if so which data feed, etc.
Thanks.

I live in Sweden and I use the regular Tradestation. During the sign-up process you can choose what country you reside in. A few countries are not on the list (like a few developing countries) but as you seem to be from the UK it definitely won't be a problem.
I have tried TS Global and honestly after trying it (this was around 1 year ago) I personally would definitely not recommend it. Back then you could only use the older version of TS and the automated trading function was disabled. Also keep in mind that you get all the data from IB. As they are not a data provider you could only download a limited amount of data at the same time. I think the limit was around 50 live charts (or 50 lines in Radarscreen) at the same time. It definitely wasn't usable for me.

Tonight, within the span of less than 20 minutes, you have posted this exact message in six different threads, many of which have nothing to do with TradeStation.
It is understandable that you have a question that you need to get answered, and that you are simply trying to get your question out to as many places as possible. But this scattershot approach is also spamming the forum, and if you do get responses they will be scattered across many topics, making it harder for the forum to be useful to others.
It is also rude to bombard people with the same thing again and again.
I have deleted the other five posts you made. This one has been left standing because the thread it is in is the closest to your topic, and it probably has the best chance of being answered here.
Please understand that you are welcome to pose questions on any topic that you need help on, and don't let this be discouraging to you. We have all been new traders and the members of the forum will go out of their way to help if they can.
But also, please do not blast out your questions like this. If you can't find a thread that is devoted to your exact issue, you can create a new one. Just refrain from filling the whole forum with them.
With this said, I hope you get the information you need.
Thanks.
Bob.

Yes that is correct.
I found this page on TS.https://www.tradestation.com:443/pricing/market-data-pricing/
If I read it correctly data is free?
I do like their communication or quick reply to queries. I posted this same question to them last night-UK time- so will hear later no doubt.
My reason for posting here is to get feed back form experienced Futures traders in the US, which I am grateful for. So, many thanks.
My apologies Bob, and everyone else. You guessed right I am new and very grateful to people here who have replied to my queries. My story is that I am trying to get away from UK spread `betting and ~CFD trading to, what I am told , is a more regulated and fairer? playing field. Tried enquiring of a low cost broker but communication etc was very hit and miss plus funding arrangements were more involved than simple card payment to broker. I discovered TradeStation allows the likes of 'World First UK Ltd" to transfer fees to USA account
( improved exchange rate and much lower bank fees) and if the TS data fees are free? as per this page on TS. https://www.tradestation.com:443/pricing/market-data-pricing/
Then I will try them out.
