I thought I'd bring it to attention of people on this site that I got an email today saying Tradestation will no longer be charging software fees for brokerage accounts. This is a game changer but I suspect it also has to do with the fact that people have been leaving Tradestation.

I did receive same message today too.

Tradestation is a nice Platform but downside is that to be able to use it you are glued to their broker, whereas with other tols such us Multicharts or Ninja there is some more leeway in that regard.

PS: This is my first post here so have my warmest hellow to al of you from the center of the Peninsula

If you love Tradestation then http://traderssoft.com/wp/ts/ is for you. They have sw that lets you use IB with Tradestation.

If you happen to be a Veteran of the Armed Forces they waive that fee. Im not sure how long they have had this promo around but I wished I had found it sooner.

That's big news TS users, it is one of the better platforms for automated trading and their charts are probably the best available. Account fee will be waived if you meet their minimums for one of their tradeable markets

For futures account,

No software fees
Free premium tools
Free real-time data


This is a game change, I am going to open an account with them soon. BTW, anyone know what is the difference between futures platform and futures + platform?

Futures+ Platform (for futures options trades)

There is no 99.95 monthly account fee. I cannot find it any where on their website.
