The reason why EU clients are excluded from commission-free trading

Wrong.

https://www.tradestation.com/promo/tsgo/

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Only available to U.S. residents. Commission-free equities trading applies to equities trades placed on TradeStation Mobile App or TradeStation Web Trading of up to 10,000 shares; for each order of more than 10,000 shares, a $0.001 per-share charge will be assessed on the number of shares in excess of 10,000. Direct-routed equity orders will be charged an additional $0.005 per share. There will be no base commission for options up to 50 contracts per trade, after which there will be a $0.50 per contract charge. There will be a $1.00 per contract fee for index options. Direct routing options orders incur an additional fee of $1.00 per contract. No option cancellation fees apply. Other fees may apply. See www.tradestation.com/pricing/ for details on these other fees. TSgo is a web and mobile offering, but for a limited time only, TSgo pricing will also be available for trades placed via the TradeStation platform. TSgo pricing is subject to change without notice and is available for non-professional subscribers only.

This was also confirmed via email to me, as I have an account with them.
I contacted Tradestation and was told it included EU residents. Several days later they changed their website. I contacted Tradestation again and was told that the decision had been made the same day. I wrote in another thread that Tradestation commission-free trading did not include EU residents after all.

I did not read that other thread, just this one, so I was passing on the info....

And, the free accounts come at a cost of execution and price improvement....so that could be a factor depending on how one trades and what kind of fills they need / expect.
