There are a ton of brokers out there all trying to get you on their platform, but what makes robinhood different from ETrade? Maybe you should consider Tradestation on your short list for the next brokerage account or maybe you shouldn't. Tradestation is great for active traders, but what about people who aren't very active in the stock market? Either way, make sure you watch this review of Tradestation securites.

Now I used to use tradestation as my preferred option broker a couple years ago, but then I simplified everything and only wanted to keep on brokerage account open. I chose ETrade at that point in time because I thought they offered a great platform with ETrade Pro. The only thing is, now ETrade is not really developing ETrade pro as much as tradestation is putting more money into their platform.

ETrade has some great options for active and non-active investors with their automated investing, while tradestation doesn’t really have that. I still see tradestation as a broker for more active traders because of their platform. You can certainly invest with them in the long run, so don’t let me saying that stop you from doing so.

The bad thing about tradestation is that they don’t offer DRIP investing. All the other big names brokers offer DRIP, which is dividend reinvestment program. If AAPL gives you a dividend on other brokers it would be reinvested for fractional shares for the amount of the dividend. Tradestation doesn’t offer that, which also kind of defeats the purpose of long term investing on it.

Tradestation still touts their speed and price of trade execution on their website, which has me thinking they want to appeal to more active investors. I have to say that when I was trading with them, their fills were on point and almost instantly. Unlike ETrade where sometimes I do notice a bit of a delay from when I hit a buy order to when it gets filled. Now, I am not scalping penny stocks, but it is nice to have that order filled instantly.

Honestly, their platform also rivals Think or Swim, which is what I use to chart everything. It’s probably one of the best charting and research platforms out there with tradestation coming in at a close second. Combine the order entry and precision with tradestation you have a really good platform for active trading. So, why did I switch from tradestation?

I switched because I stopped active trading, or at least as active as I was doing before. Plus, they were the last broker to lower their fees on everything and I really didn’t want to pay $5 + $1.00 per option contract. I switched to ETrade to get lower fees because commissions are the biggest hinder the profit margins. That and selling way too soon or buying at the top of a spike.

Here’s the thing with options. You are trading the underlying security, but most brokers don’t let you sell based on the price of the underlying security.I want to get in a put on SPY when it rejects 320 and I know 318 is support on SPY. With most brokers I would have to buy the put when SPY is at 320 manually and then sell at 318 manually. With tradestation you can set an order to sell your contract when the underlying security hits your price target. Now, it would be a market order out, but with their fills that’s not really a bad thing. It was hands down my favorite feature of tradestation and I wish ETrade, or any other broker had this ability.
