FYI, I recently received notice from Tradestation that they will waive the platform fee for minimum trading volume. The volume requirements had been extremely high in the past and now are actually reasonable. Text below.....
<<Effective September 1, 2005, accounts meeting any of the following criteria in the preceding month will not be charged a monthly base platform fee for TradeStation or RadarScreen (if applicable) in the current month:
§ Equity, options, futures or forex accounts with a balance of $1 million or more on the last day of the previous calendar month
§ Equity accounts executing 25,000 (reduced from 250,000) or more shares in the previous calendar month; or
§ Options accounts executing 100 (reduced from 2,500) or more contracts in the previous calendar month; or
§ Futures accounts executing 50 (reduced from 500) or more round-turn E-Mini Futures contracts, or 100 or more round-turn Security Futures contracts, in the previous calendar month; or
§ Forex accounts executing 25 (reduced from 500) or more round-turn lots in the previous calendar month >>
