I already have a TS account with a waived platform fee (due to promotion years ago.)

I am now considering bringing over or opening additional accounts (IRA, LLC, futures, etc.) My question is: will I be charged a platform fee for each linked account or can I use my existing platform to trade these linked accounts?

FYI - I am aware I would need to pay fee's for data (e.g., CME data if I open and trade a futures account.)

Thank you in advance!

TS would not charge you additional fees if you can link all accounts under the same "User ID".
This means that you should access all accounts under the current ID you have. so no additional fees for platform.
and no extra CME fees.

Remember, CME fees apply per USER ID, not account. So if you can access your accounts through one ID, you pay only once.

Thank you,
