Important information
Commission tiers at TradeStation are determined based on your cumulative monthly trading volume for each asset class (equities, options, and futures). Each asset class is evaluated separately, and your commission tier may differ by asset class. For example, you could be tier 2 for equities but tier 1 for options. At the start of each month, your commission tier is set to the highest level reached during the previous month and is reviewed daily. If your trading activity moves you into a higher tier during the current month, your lower rate will take effect the next trading session. Futures and futures options traded through the FuturesPlus platform, sub-dollar and non-NMS trades, including most OTC trades, as well as third-party, direct-routed, delegated, or externally executed trades are excluded from tier-volume calculations and applicable commission tiers. Additional commissions and fees may apply to FuturesPlus platform trades, sub-dollar and non-NMS trades, including most OTC trades; direct-routed, delegated, or externally executed trades, as well as certain trades depending on asset type, routing method, and account status; direct routing, clearing and international tickets; and market data and premium services. Trades executed through non-TradeStation applications may be subject to custom pricing. For more details on applicable charges, please consult our online Fee Schedule or contact the Client Experience team.TradeStation may modify commissions and fees at any time.
