The Margin rates and ability to make a purchase on price moves were hampered by the system. The hoops were not very timely and left me wanting a better experience.
$150 + $0 Options Contract Fees
Pricing update! TradingView users get commission-free options trades and no contract fees* with a TradeStation account for orders on TradingView. Also qualify for $150 when you fund a new account with at least $5k.
Very good response to market orders.
Got charged $75 dollars for a trade I never placed!!! A random order got opened 15:27, got filled 15:50, and got liquidated 16:20 and charged $75 penalty (of course, with loss on that order i never placed by myself!!!). I never knew how the order got placed, as it never shows on trading view. And tradeStation doesn't have an explanation either, it just shows on the statement, and no notification at all. I only found it by carefully checking the statement. You should be really careful about using this broker with tradingview!!
Works great with tradingview
Terrible support, they don't know what they are talking about. They don't want to explain nor admit what they are talking about. They will leave you with questions and refuse to answer them with any detail. The broker will also restrict your trading due to "volatility" even if you are using a cash account with 0 risk to the broker. Makes no sense, I'm gone and never coming back. Also they charge commissions to buy stocks under a dollar.
Fees left and right. Fills aren't as good as Fidelity.
TradingView and Trade Station do not synch well together for day traders especially on Mac. No easy hotkeys, can't use the long or short tool easily to create orders. It's a hassle to trade with this broker synched to tradingview, and TV should also do more to support TS.

Clunky at best. So far a pretty bad impression. Can't short sell hardly anything because it says "hard to borrow" . Constantly getting logged out and getting rate quata hits. Starting to want to look around for another broker that can work well with TradingView because Trade Station does not.

Good integration with TradingView. Monthly live data packages are much more expensive compared to other brokers.
disconnects from my trading view often but other wise not bad

I’m just getting into day trading and the help and information on TradingView is so worth it. Very easy to get deep. Without it, I don’t know I’d be as involved or excited. Thank you

Brokers provide access to financial markets and execute trades. They act as intermediaries between traders and exchanges, providing the necessary infrastructure and tools to place buy and sell orders. They offer services such as order execution, market access, research, analysis, and customer support. Additionally, brokers facilitate the use of leverage, margin trading, and help ensure regulatory compliance, providing traders with a secure environment to trade effectively. Without brokers, individual traders would struggle to access markets and execute trades efficiently.
An order is an instruction for a broker to execute a trade - buy or sell an asset on behalf of a trader. Depending on your strategy, risk tolerance, and market condition, different kinds of orders can be more or less effective, let's see the basic ones.
- Market order. It's a basic type designed to buy or sell an asset immediately at the next price available
- Limit order. Specifies the maximum (for buying) or minimum (for selling) price at which a trader is willing to execute a trade. It's only executed if the price reaches the preset level. There are buy and sell limit orders - they're set to buy/sell an asset at or below/above a certain price
- Stop order. Triggered when an asset moves above or below a certain price level, always executed in the direction that the price is moving. There are stop-loss orders (automatically closes a position at a certain level if the market moves against you) and (initiates a trade when the price breaks a certain level)

A broker's rating on TradingView is based on its clients' reviews. We ensure broker ratings reflect real user experiences by allowing reviews only from verified TradingView users with active linked accounts. Recent ratings carry more weight, providing up-to-date insights for informed decisions. This approach promotes transparency and prevents manipulation. Make sure to rate your broker to help it improve its service and assits other users in their choice.
Leverage is a mechanism that allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. It basically means borrowing funds from a broker, often multiplying your position size by 5x, 10x, or more. For example, with 5x leverage, a $100 deposit could open a $500 trade with your broker lending you $400 you don't have. It's a popular technique, but remember that while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies losses, which is why it's essential to learn how to manage risks.
It's always worth preparing for trades before actually executing them. On TradingView, you can do this with our Paper Trading functionality.

Margin trading means an investor buying an asset by borrowing the balance from a broker. It allows traders to increase their buying power, enabling larger positions with less upfront capital. While it can provide greater market exposure with less capital and amplify potential gains, it also comes with increased risks:
- Increased risk of losses, including exceeding initial investment
- Interest costs on borrowed funds
- Potential for margin calls requiring additional deposits
Make sure to analyze an asset thoroughly and test your strategy on a Paper Trading account to ensure you're ready to navigate these risks.
