Tradestation is a terrible day trading platform.
Moving limit/stop orders on the chart is impossible without manually changing the price so its to an equal cent otherwise it gets rejected. same with placing orders through the order tab. customer service doesn't give a crap about you. I tried the platform for 2 days, decided it wasn't for me. but i can't withdraw my money until it's been in the account for 7 days. I will never again use this platform and I warn anyone else against using it.

I have used several brokerages and have had much success with this one. The online site is complete and easy to navigate. That said they also have answers to questions when something is not working for me. I recommend this site as dependable efficient and easy to use.

Wish I could rate it 0 stars

Wish I could rate it 0 stars. WORST BROKERAGE EVER - STAY AWAY!!

Background: Opened a new account about a month ago because I wanted the integration to trade directly on my Trading View charts. I primarily trade options and all had been fine. First issue was deposits were very very slow to post - about a week. Sucks but can deal with it. The main issue was today I went to trade as normal and got a vague error message that said I could only close orders. I call support who were not helpful or friendly, they tell me my account is under review but they can't tell me why. They said call back next week and we should be able to tell you something. That's just ridiculous and is the last straw for me. Literally taking my money hostage. Getting my money out as quickly as I can.

Uncomplicated platform and fast for day trading

I have used Ninja Trader, Think or Swim, Interactive Brokers, and Webull. I am a simple day trader, that needs simple tools that I can depend on to protect risk. I found that Trade Stations functionality to protect is immediate, not clunky and gives control to the trader. The platform is easy on the eyes also.
