Interesting that a few have commented then deleted their posts.

What country do you trade from ??? ie Russia ?? Not allowed to trade with what ever country you in ??

Is odd, could be a screw up ofcourse and they've mis typed the account number of someone really bad and closed the wrong account.

In prison most prisoners say they are innocent victims that were put in jail...they never commited the crime they were convicted for.

But that’s cause our legal systems been that screwed up, haven’t convicted a actual guilty person since 1988, being guilty is the safest way to be.

Hi there,
I had an account with tradestation for like year and a half, had a few trades placed, but mostly used its radar screen for research purposes.
One day, Tradestation closed my account, randomly. No questions asked. Would not tell me the reason.
I know that I have not done anything shady for sure. I am not sure if it was a mixup on their end or something.

Wondering if anyone had similar experience, or knows sample reasons (other than obvious fraud) why they would do that...

TS could have received some alert about a change in your financial condition, "suspicious" money transfers, credit alerts, or something like that. It could even be a keyboard entry error or someone stole your identity. Check your credit reports immediately.

We live in a police state with FinCEN, USA "Patriot" Act "Know your customer", etc. Your money is presumed guilty, unless proven innocent through its electronic trail. (My political 2 cents.)

P.S. If you want to use your same EL codes: Multicharts also has a "RadarScreen" that you can use. It is 98% compatible with legacy EasyLanguage (not OOEL). You can try it free for 30 days. Their Christmas sale is coming up soon too. They do NOT provide data. Many use IQFeed or eSignal, or another broker's data.

Good luck.

Someone probably ratted on you, but the best thing that could happen is TradeStation going out of business. Scumbags.

Do you have some facts to back up your assertion?

Not my favorite broker or CEO (IB, Petterfy) but their US PnL (Japan was down) looks better as of the very recent Monex quarterly statement from 10/29/2018.

But maybe you know something that I don't know.
