TradeStation Securities has no option to act as a brokerage alone. You MUST
subscribe to TS 7 for $99 a month + exchange fees (based on whatever
realtime data u need). If you do not have an account with them, you can get
TS7, but that's $199 a month... clearly not what you are looking for.
It's clearly their business model... to get monthly license revenue. We
don't need to agree with it.. but that's what it is.
