Reviews from actual traders
So I have two criticisms but lets start with the good first. So I just transferred over from TD Ameritrade's TOS platform, which has all the bell's and whistles, but is extremely clunky to navigate efficiently. Being able to chart trade with TradingView is a dream come true really. I have found it makes everything extremely intuitive and really fast to chart / execute trades. Oh yeah and the 6 months of TV Pro is a really nice perk. That said there are three features which at present are not currently available which myself and many others desire. The first is mobile trading through TradingView. This alone has me considering switching back to TOS. Second is the ability to scale out of positions with partial / percentage based take profits. This form of complex bracket order isn't integrated which is a real drawback for me. The third feature missing is the "Account History" panel which allows a trader to see all of their closed trades along which each trades individual profits/losses. It is really shocking to me that after a trade closes, I cannot quickly see its individual profit and loss. Unfortunately this is available on TradingView, but only in the TradingView Paper Trading account, not in the integration with TradeStation live or demo accounts. Otherwise, the integration with TradingView offers an a seamless experience that is light years ahead of the competition. I really want to give this 5 stars but to be honest, for the reasons listed above I am taking a star away. If TradingView integrates with a big reputable broker like TDA that has features like forex and options along with complex orders, and continues in their tradition of making them more intuitive, I would switch back in a heartbeat. That said Tradestation has a mission to be the best platform out there, time will tell if they can truely live up to it. I reached out to customer service to see of they are addressing these issues and the promptly replied that these were being addressed.
Oldschool. TradingView charts are much better.
Good - The charting is top notch and alerts are very helpful.
Bad - At my membership level, exposing features to me that are behind another paywall is kind-of annoying. It would be better if you just didn't show those features.
awesome, has every symbol I ever need from around the world.
Nice broker, no issues!
Awesome trading platform with amazing customer support and training.
easy to use and fast trade entries, great stop loss feature
Platform is interactive, but the monthly fees and international expenses and exchange rate etc.. are big bills to pay. It is easy for local US citizens but is expensive for international person to held an account.
An indispensable tool for every active trader.
For all traders in Saudi Arabia, I would highly recommending to use TradeStation as it has a great support team and you can use Tradingview with it.
I switched over from Think or Swim, and for the most part I really like it. the only reason it doesn't have 5 starts is because a lot of times I've noticed a pretty bad lag on when I actually place the order and when it gets executed. That's fine if I'm doing long term but if I'm trading something intraday it's very annoying
I love the integration with a trading view!
excelkent connection; interactive borker is good too
TradeStation often has severe lag when volume comes in. Which is exactly when one should be trading. This is an ongoing issue.
Otherwise it's fantastic.
It’s very good,
They need to release the money directly after closing a trade,but it took them day or more.
it was easy to set up my accounts with TradeStation. Support was helpful with an issue and resolved it quickly.
It sucks, can't get my data in tradingview. They claim it's your problem
Fast execution, amazing market tools/data, and good integration of Level 2 which is a must for anybody making quick trades
