TradeStation - Trade & Invest

This app is so awful it makes me want to cry. I could swear this app is designed to trick traders. I’ve been trading professionally for over 10 years, and I almost never make typos. 20% of my tickets are placed incorrectly because this software is so unfathomably terrible. Nobody who has ever placed a single trade in their entire life took part and designing this app. Literally worse than your worst nightmares

New update a day ago, made it easier to place orders yes. But also took away the symbol that shows you if it’s in the money. Took away the calendar symbol to show you earnings are coming up. Added tabs for each stock which is okay, but if you only have options in a stock and no actual stock you can only view the chart directly from the trading area of the option, no option to view the actual stock chart directly without having to go and search the stock directly under search. And every time I go back to the trading positions screen it doesn’t keep my sorted request, it goes back to default and I have to re sort everything. Also they removed the percentage for where it shows the total negative or positive with options and stocks put together on the positions screen. Really frustrating because I was just getting used to the app. Stop making it complicated don’t fix something if it’s not broken!!!!

I have no idea why you would use TradeStation, charging inactivity fees is theft, purposely locking accounts out to close for inactivity and charge for this is flat out wrong

The chart and its graphic is horrible. Same as the web version.

Opened an account with Tradestation and everything was going great for a while. Suddenly one day at work I got an email saying I was hit with a $10 inactivity fee because I wasn't trading enough? I was given a total of 3 hours warning to remedy the issue. Granted I was working and couldn't do so... In order to pay the fee, tradestation liquidated 7 stocks of mine one day before the stock rallied to its all time high. The fee ended up costing me 14 X what it should have. Absolutely ridiculous and absurd. I'm closing my account and moving elsewhere, thanks for stealing my hard earned money!

Unable to use app. Pressed login and I get a message that says the site is not secure. Tried with both safari and firefox. Can this not be used with a browser and cell data? Which would be odd because I have used this app previously on this phone with only cell data without a security warning.

I recently downloaded this app because a friend told me they offer a $3,500 deposit bonus. However, after downloading it, I didn’t see any sign of that bonus or any promotion. In hindsight, it was probably unwise for me to get it, especially considering I already use three other platforms. One major red flag for me is when an app or service doesn’t offer a clear option to delete your account in the settings. That’s definitely a no-go in my book. Also after signing up, some one called me which are fine weird Robin Hood E*Trade in fidelity does not contact people. This was a mistake. I just called to have my account deleted because it can’t be done by me which is a red flag to me.

Could never get my account approved for it to be used in the first place very confusing how it redirects me on the website to when I try to get in contact with support not clear at all how to get my account approved to trade on it in the first place

Refers me to the website page instead of logging in through the app

Fees, minimum required trades, margin calls in positions bought completely with cash. Customer service was horrible. Kept saying it was a margin call then could couldn’t explain since the position wasn’t purchased on margin. Horrible attitude then told me to look at my own account. So either it’s a fee for not making trades or a minimum account balance fee but still calling it a margin call. Just go to Schwab, and avoid TradeStation.
