Regulatory action against Tradestation Securities

Recommended Posts

Regulation 9B.14, in that TradeStation knowingly entered bids and offers into the e-cbot system other than in good faith for the purpose of executing bona fide transactions.

 

there's more information in here

BASIC Case Summary

 

 

Dear traders

 

This is just for information purposes only. Just to keep you heads up...just in case

 

In my experience, a violation doesn't necesary involves malice, or intend. But just in case, keeps your eyes open.

 

Regards

I don't think it will affect users. It's just a warning. My friend who was the one that sent me this information, told me that she's really in the market for a new broker. According to her, Tradestation's execution has been poor lately. She's probably trying to link one to the other, but I don't see this is such a big deal. I am confused about the parameters NFA is using for "good faith" That's very obscure and "intentioned" from NFA side in my opinion.

 

I sincerely hope Tradestation doesn't get affected by the poor judgement of this agency. I persoanlly don't see NFA have such experience in regulate futures.

I'll keep an eye out on any further news. Its one thing I mention to traders migrating over to Tradestation.... their execution is not top notch. I like their software which is the only thing I use with Tradestation.

 

Im not familiar with how NFA judges and makes their decision making on. But Tradestation is a respectable firm and it would be surprising for me to see them in violation of any regulations.

Please correct me if I am wrong. The case is not new. It was reported in 2005 ? Or I have missed out something?

 

NFA ID Respondent Penalty/Event Event Date

0307871 TRADESTATION SECURITIES INC • LETTER REPRIMAND 10/07/2005

 

Anyway, I am cautious after knowing this.

agree, soul, their platform is excellent by far the best in the industry, but their brokerage and services are less than desired. On days where there are freezes and lockups, you visit the forum and tons and tons of not so satisfied traders waiting just to speak to a rep, 30min to 1 hr minimum. Not impressive at all.

 

I use their platform but I trade with MBTrading. Services are great online chat or phone. Tradestation does only phone.

 

This brings me to the problem with auto-trading with Tradestation. Most experienced system traders don't recommend leaving the dang thing at home while you're the beach sipping pina colada. Many sit and watch it, believe it or not, it's not so "auto". When s--t happens, gotta be there to pull the plug and call customer service, else... Murphy's law takes over.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
