Broker Review
TradeStation Forex-related
TradeStation Forex-related products traces its current offering to 1982 and William and Rafael Cruz; now Monex Group. Unlike a generic brokerage description, its defining characteristic is that it does not currently operate as a standalone U.S. retail spot-forex product and should be treated as a related-service reference. The business combines execution or portfolio access with the account servicing described in this profile. The service is not separately listed and therefore has no standalone market capitalization. Current status: TradeStation is profiled as a securities and futures broker; a current standalone U.S. retail spot-forex account was not confirmed.

Drawbacks
- At TradeStation Forex-related products, leverage can produce losses well beyond the expected risk budget, while data, routing, liquidation and platform charges complicate the advertised commission
