1 SEC Rule 607 Disclosure SEC Rule 607 requires all registered broker-dealers to provide disclosures to customers of payment for order flow practices upon the opening of a new account and annually thereafter. TradeStation sends certain equity orders to exchanges, electronic communication networks, or broker-dealers during normal business hours and during extended trading sessions. Some of those market centers provide payments to TradeStation, or charge access fees depending upon the characteristics of the order and any subsequent execution. Information on these payments can be found by viewing the TradeStation SEC Rule 606 Quarterly Routing Disclosure below. Further details of these payments and fees are available upon written request. TradeStation receives compensation from routing orders in exchange-listed options to broker-dealer intermediaries, which in turn use smart order routing technology to seek the best execution available in the market. Compensation is generally in the form of a per-option contract cash payment. TradeStation SEC Rule 606 Quarterly Routing Disclosure: Q TradeStation Securities, Inc.
