TradeStation - Trade & Invest

authentic rating

A broker for active trading with a strong desktop but a noticeably weaker and slower mobile app. It freezes mid-trade, takes too many steps to confirm an order, and some trader features vanish after updates.

About the rating

The ratings look honest: a 4.5 storefront against a text average around three, which rings true. Reviews are specific, with concrete gripes about app speed and trader features. Notably, people openly welcome the removal of the PDT rule. No sign of inflation.

Strengths

What users love

  • Excellent charts
  • No PDT rule and no minimum balance
  • A steadily improving mobile client
  • Handy for futures.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • The app freezes right during a trade
  • Placing an order is slow and takes many steps
  • Browser login flags an unsafe site
  • And withdrawals sometimes get stuck.

Who it is for

Active traders, especially in futures, who mostly work from the desktop.
