New Assets is defined as cash or securities held at a financial institution other than TradeStation (assets transferred from an existing TradeStation account do not qualify). Your Account will not qualify for the cash offer if you withdraw or transfer assets from your Account, then redeposit them into the Account. Asset fluctuations (up or down) do not affect the calculation of Qualifying Assets.

Our Verdict

Better than the previous $100 bonus, requirements are basically the same but it’s for $150 instead of $100 and it pays out over two months instead of five months. I feel like I’m missing something as this bonus is so much better. Looks like if you open a TS GO account there are no fees or minimum requirements, although there is a $10 trading charge if you use the desktop platform so better to use the web/mobile app. We will add this to our list of the best brokerage bonuses.
