Here are just a few examples of how we've tailored TradeStation Securities' premium brokerage services to meet your demanding needs:

We offer institutional clients a full range of market-leading solutions customized to meet your individualized needs. You have the ability to work with your representative to specifically tailor a mutually-beneficial relationship that is aimed at meeting your needs. As an institutional client, in order to serve you as quickly and effectively as possible, you will have both an Institutional Relationship Manager and an Institutional Sales Representative assigned to you who will coordinate your conversion from your current brokerage to TradeStation Securities seamlessly. We interview each advisor to determine what features are needed for each client account, and then we work with you to help ensure a seamless conversion from your current brokerage to TradeStation Securities, and then expedite the transfer and follow up on your clients’ assets from start to finish. And our well-trained trading desk is dedicated to maximizing the value of our products and services to ensure your orders are handled in the most efficient manner.

Futures funds are held and futures trades are cleared through R.J. O'Brien Associates, Inc., one of the oldest and best known independent futures brokerage firms in the industry. A privately owned Futures Commission Merchant founded in 1914, RJO is a founding member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, a member of the NYBOT, and a full clearing member of the CBOT, NYME and the COMEX, offering clearing on every futures exchange worldwide.

TradeStation Securities allows you to maximize your day trading buying power by offering you low overnight and day trading margin requirements for futures. Your intra-day buying power is calculated and reflected on a real-time basis in TradeStation's Trade Manager, so you're updated on your current positions and maximum buying power at all times.

With authorization from your client, TradeStation Securities can deduct investment advisory fees from your clients’ accounts and pay them directly to your firm account--essentially expediting the payment of fees. And since the advisor fees are automatically credited to your firm's account, you can access your funds at any point.

TradeStation Securities provides clients with a valuable alternative to the traditional broker-dealer relationship. Because we act exclusively as your agent for your equities, options and futures trades, our efforts are purely in your best interest. As an agency-only broker, we remain neutral, neither buying nor selling securities or futures for our own account. To avoid conflicts of interest that can affect where your order is routed, unlike other brokerages, we don't do proprietary trading for our own account, do not own a market maker, do not own an ECN, and have no inventory to sell to clients so that we profit. We are motivated by a singular objective: To help our clients achieve optimal trading results by seeking to offer them the best execution on each and every equities, options and futures trade.
