The market is filled with too many E-Brokers. Using "Price" as a strength, ultimately encourages competitions accelerate price erosion, and reduces profit margins. Price erosion is aweful for us, the investors.

Tradstation needs to understand that Cheap doesn't equal to value.

Further more, the switching cost from competitors' to TRAD is also high. To increase the number of accounts, TRAD, unfortunately has to rely on obtaining newer traders that are more susceptible event such as the FEB 27, 07 correction.

(Although, TRAD gives me the impression that they are targeting professional traders, what ever professional traders means).

Trade Station offeres fine services. I have stopped using any one else. The flexibility and trading charges work for me. My trade size is normally few hundred to under 1000 shares or options in lots of 5 options. It allows me to build position or sell few minutes later or few days or few months. It helps me to buy stock and sell call option to creat cash flow - very convinient even if you have 200 shares and sell 2 calls. Not too many trading houses will execute an order for one buck for 100 shares or one buck for one option contracct
Did you find a better alternative? I will love to see what you use now

You need to be more specific about what your problems are???
I am just a position trader and got hooked to Tradestation about 15 months ago and I love it. My only complain that they do not have a PDA compliant trading system like Option Express.
