• Tradestation has launched its new forex trading platform, one that enables the design, back-testing and automation of forex trading strategies based on inside, interbank spreads. Forex trades may now be executed directly from the TradeStation order bar or market depth window, or through the use of macros or full automation. TradeStation’s new pricing plan offers tighter “inside” spreads — as small as $10 per 100,000 deal lot for the most liquid currency pairs — in exchange for a reasonable “round-turn” commission that will typically be $5.00 per 100,000 deal lot. In addition to the new forex offering, this release of the TradeStation platform, TradeStation 8.3, contains numerous fundamental data indicators, PaintBar Studies, and strategy components that support the design and testing of fundamental data strategies, and increased optimization of analysis technique calculations for Chart Analysis and RadarScreen. A detailed description of the new features, functions, and enhancements in TradeStation 8.3 is available at https://www.tradestation.com/.
