Here are just a few examples how TradeStation Securities' premium brokerage services are designed to meet your demanding needs:

Customized Premium Institutional Service Offerings
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. 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. In addition, Advent Software, Inc./Axys® reporting capabilities offer you extensive management report capabilities, allowing you to monitor performance and overall portfolio statistics on a daily basis. In addition, if you are an existing Centerpiece® client, TradeStation Securities can provide you with a link allowing you to use Centerpiece reports.

List/Basket Trading
Trading capabilities allow you to create and save your own custom “Trade Lists”, allowing you easily and quickly to 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 able to choose to globally increase or decrease the quantity specified for each symbol in the list by a fixed percentage.

Trade Allocation
Available for large orders, this new functionality allows you to place a single trade, but allocate shares across multiple accounts.

Management Fee Deduction Service
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 via check or wire at any point.

Maximum Leverage and Intra-Day Buying Power
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. 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.

Conflict-Free, Agency-Only Brokerage Services
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.
