anyone's a fool not to use ib for stock trades and .005 and jsut pay for the tradestaion software

If you have $5K to fund TS account, instead of parking
that in a useless bank account, then you don't need to
pay tradestation the plateform fee

Can you do just 10 roundturns coming month?
Don't make decisions based on commision only

You are assuming one has $5k!
That rules out 85% of the "Elite"!

Can you tell me which brokerage offer extensive
historical data like tradestation for free?

IB free offer don't include historical data

So i see no reason why Tradestation has to offer it for
free.

Well, IB eats the data fees, or at least doesnt mark them up like TS does.

Ask them what the ECN books actually cost them, to justify $20 a month.

Meanwhile, the TRAD stock is ramping wildly, so I guess the customers are happy.
