Worth knowing about each
TradeStation
- TradeStation crypto is not sent through TradersPost.
- Futures take-profit and stop-loss can be set as price offsets, a percentage or a dollar PnL amount.
- Rejected prices often mean TradeStation minMove/tick data disagrees with the price in the signal. Check the quote on the trade.
