*This limited-time offer is available to new retail, U.S. domestic, non-IRA TradeStation Securities, Inc. (“TradeStation”) accounts that deposit qualifying net-new external assets of at least $5,000 within 30 days of account opening (“Eligible Accounts”). Eligible Accounts will receive promotional pricing and may also receive a cash reward as detailed below.

Promotional Pricing: Eligible Accounts will receive Tier 4 pricing (“Promotional Pricing”) for the month the account funds and the following two calendar months (“Promotional Pricing Period”). After the Promotional Pricing Period ends, standard pricing will apply. See https://tradestation.com/pricing/ for more details on Tier 4 pricing and standard pricing. Futures and futures options traded through the FuturesPlus platform, sub-dollar and non-NMS trades, including most OTC trades, third-party trades, direct-routed trades, delegated trades, externally executed trades, and trades executed through non-TradeStation applications are excluded from Promotional Pricing. Additional commissions and fees may apply to FuturesPlus platform trades, sub-dollar and non-NMS trades, direct-routed trades, delegated trades, externally executed trades, certain trades depending on asset type, routing method, and account status, direct routing, clearing and international tickets, market data, and premium services. For exchange-traded equity orders executed below $1.00 per share, and for all OTC equity executions, the commission charge will be $0.005 per share, with a minimum commission charge of $1.00 per executed order and a maximum commission charge of $50.00 per executed order, both of which are subject to a cap of 5% of the notional value of the executed order. The execution of any direct-routed equity order will incur an additional commission charge of $0.005 per share. For more information on applicable charges, consult the online Fee Schedule or contact the Client Experience team.

Cash Reward: Eligible Accounts may receive a cash reward if they maintain the minimum required funding of at least $5,000 in net-new external assets (“Funding Requirement”) from 30 days after account opening to 270 days after the funding date (the “Qualification Period”).  Whether the Funding Requirement is met is calculated using the initial deposit of net-new cash and/or securities less any cash or securities withdrawn during the Qualification Period (“Qualifying Assets”). Trading profits or losses and account charges will not reduce or increase the amount of Qualifying Assets. The Eligible Account must remain open and in good standing throughout the Qualification Period. The cash reward will be applied to the Eligible Account within the first 10 business days following the end of the Qualification Period. The cash reward will be determined based on Qualifying Assets as follows:  $5,000 – $24,999 – cash reward of $50; $25,000 – $99,999 – cash reward of $150; $100,000 – $249,999 – cash reward of $500; $250,000 – $499,999 – cash reward of $1,000; $500,000 – $999,999 – cash reward of $2,000; $1,000,000 or more – cash reward of $3,500. The cash reward will be applied as a credit to the Eligible Account.
