We’re happy to announce that Barron’s magazine has ranked TradeStation Securities the #1 Online Broker in its annual review of online brokerage firms. This is a great honor for us that we’d like to share with you. The TradeStation Strategy Trading Community is unlike any other. Your enhancement suggestions that help us shape the product and your willingness to share strategy trading ideas and help other community members are some of the reasons we received this recognition.

TradeStation not only won for “best overall broker,” the biggest prize, but was also the leader in three out of the four subcategories that were ranked — “best for frequent traders,” “best for options traders” and “best for international traders.” TradeStation was ranked superior, overall, to 22 other online brokerages, including Interactive Brokers, optionsXpress, thinkorswim, Charles Schwab, E*Trade Securities, Fidelity Investments, Scottrade, and TD Ameritrade.

The review highlighted TradeStation’s compelling strengths, stating: “What pushes this software-based firm to the top is its incredible trading technology and its powerful analysis, charting and back-testing capabilities.” Referring to the trading system as a “Porsche 911GT3,” the reviewer added, “The average TradeStation customer puts on 640 trades a year … That’s why it’s our top pick for the frequent trader as well.”
