Cost of Tradestation?

[jim2000]

Anyone know the cost of tradestation? Monthly fee? commissions?

I don't know the specifics, so I'll bump this to the top...but I think after a certain amount of round trip trades, it's free.....

Yeah I knew it was something like that but couldn't remember.

$99 for the platform if you don't meet the below criteria of 10 rounds, yet you use TS as your broker.

It's $250 if you use them as a platform only and not a broker.

Now the data feed I don't get. For the cbot they say free for now.
But below that they show a DOM option for $50. Any ideas there guys?

Some CBOT produsct are free.. like


TradeStation Symbol
Full-Sized Dow Futures DJ
Mini-Sized Dow Futures YM
Mini-Sized NY Gold YG
Mini-Sized NY Silver YI
spacerMini-Sized Corn YC.P

Anything else from CBOT you have to pay 50... the above link posted in previous message gives all data fees...

I'll only be trading the YM so that's music to my ears.

Thanks for the clarification.

So if I read the above correct the $2.13 per side per car includes the exchange fee. All I need to do is ensure I trade 10 rounds per month and the platform and data is free. Well and ensure I stay profitable so I can keep paying them $4.26 per round.
