    TradeStation Securities announces new commissions

    I did a little more research on this and apologize for the confusion. Yes, you are all somewhat correct. I have found that they will shut you down if you are making 15 or more trades a day. IT could still be to a traders benefit yet is is definately not as attractive as they made it out to...

    I do believe that lower commissions are key to certain traders yet I have also found that it only takes one bad trade through a discount broker to make such a statement false.
