Tradestation credit interest rate

Wonder how TS can stay competitive with there measly interest rate policy and for equities traders that 25k shares per month to get rid of the software fee is sure out of line when you consider the futs guys only need 10rt.
Equities traders seem to have stiffer requirements.
 
heya, no i haven't. i just sent in that form several days ago and will be withdrawing as much as i can while leaving adequate worst case scenario margin since they're really my backup, then attempt to purchase tbills with 80-90% of that

maybe i should buy the bills first, and if it's a good experience, leave the cash
 
So your primary is IB?
What software you using hten if only using IB?

MB or IB good options depending on what you want

T-Bills option only with futs traders.
Equities traders totally screwed.
No options
 
man thats a sick rate at tradestaion. i'd not spit on the for that. i ahve mid 5 figures at ib and am making almost 5%. if 500k were at ts thats a huge difference of 4% a year or 20k. lets say i'm in positions 30% of the time thats still a 14k diff. thats damm robbery. it means they have about a 8% spread they're making on deibt balances. thats mafia loansharking
 
We been through this before.

Tell Cruz he's a thief and move on.

Thieves are encouraged by willing victims.

You are at fault here.
 
If you are an end of day trader using TradeStation and feel you can't switch because you need to be able to use your existing EasyLanguage code you should take a look at TradersStudio. The product does things TradeStation does not like portfolio based testing and optimization as well as totally programmable money management. TradersStudio's migration tool will allow you to run existing EasyLanguage systems and functions with only a few mouse clicks 95% of the time.

The current product can do intra-day backtesting but is a off line product. We have a real time product with auto execution currently in beta. This product will support a large list of brokers including IB,Gain, J-Trader interface and more. It will also have a global server so you can save real time data.

The off line version cost only $499.00 as a one time fee. Upgrade to real time when available $399.00

Why anyone would continue to use TradeStation and put up with their financing BS is Beyond me...They are loan sharks masquerading as a trading platform.....

Just remember,there are no victims,there are only volunteers..

I switched over to TradersStudio and am still in the testing phase,but it appears to be a really solid platform with great potential....

Hopefully,the real time version will be out shortly
