Tradestation

Anyone else notice that Tradestation just launched a commission-free Forex side? They also made the entire testing software platform free as well. The spreads are almost as tight as Oanda's. I've been using them for the last few months and now I see no reason to use any other broker, except if you're trading huge size. I bet there will be a mass exodus from other brokerages.

Is Tradestation an ECN broker? Do you have screenshot of the spreads?

Does anyone have reviews about trading with TradeStation ? Thinking about opening an account with them to train my easylanguage skills and platform should be free if I open an account with 2k+ and no min. volume/trade per month requirements.

When you said no minimum, IBFX is now part of TradeStation, and they are offering nano lot.

In another thread, I asked other traders experiences either is IBFX sharing the same spread with their parent or not.

I didnt create the thread. If we all didnt bring up dead threads............

is their platform powered by Omega?

Is that good or bad? To be powered by Omega? Their built-in proprietary programming language is EasyLanguage. What has this line of question got to do with trading?
