BEST DISCOUNT BROKER - TradeStation Global Review

Photo: TradeStationGlobal

Recommended for traders and investors looking for low fees and a wide selection of products

TradeStation Global is the brand of TradeStation International Ltd, which is based in the UK and is regulated by the top-tier Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

TradeStation Global is a combined product offered by Interactive Brokers (IB) and TradeStation. Here are its most important elements:

• The account opening, deposit/withdrawal options, and available products are the same as at Interactive Brokers.
• You can use both Interactive Brokers's and TradeStation's own desktop platform.
• TradeStation Global charges its own fees, and offers its own customer support and educational tools.

Both Interactive Brokers and TradeStation are reputable brokers, regulated by top-tier financial authorities. While Interactive Brokers is listed on the NASDAQ, TradeStation itself is not: only TradeStation's parent company Monex is listed, on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
