Here are just a few examples how TradeStation
Securities' premium brokerage services are designed
to meet your demanding needs:
We offer you 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, including DVP capability via Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. as counterparty. 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. 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. In addition, Advent Software, Inc./Axys®
reporting capabilities offer you extensive management
report capabilities, allowing you to view and evaluate
the performance and statistics of your overall portfolio
on a daily basis.

Trading capabilities allow you to create and save your
own custom “Trade Lists”, allowing you easily
and quickly place a single order for multiple symbols
at once. Each trade list you create contains a custom
list of symbols, quantities, order types and prices
saved as a text file, which you'll then be able to use
to place a single trade to buy, sell, short or cover
all the symbols simultaneously. In addition, to make
modifying your order preferences easier, you're also
able to choose to globally increase or decrease the
quantity specified for each symbol in the list by a
fixed percentage.
TradeStation Securities allows you to maximize your
day trading buying power by offering you the maximum
equities margin rate allowed by NYSE and NASD regulations,
as well as equally low overnight and day trading margin
requirements for futures. We offer equity buying power
equal to 4 times maintenance excess (4:1) for all accounts
that meet the minimum equity requirements for day trading
accounts. 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.
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.
