❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the maximum cash bonus available with TradeStation promotional codes?
+TradeStation currently offers up to $3,500 in cash bonuses for new accounts using verified promo codes like TSTVAGFD. The bonus amount increases with larger deposits: $150 for $5,000, $300 for $25,000, $500 for $100,000, $1,000 for $250,000, $2,000 for $500,000, and the maximum $3,500 for deposits of $1,000,000 or more.
How long do I have to fund my account after using a TradeStation discount code?
+You have 45 calendar days from account enrollment to make your qualifying deposit when using promotional codes. All new assets deposited during this 45-day window count toward determining your bonus amount, but you must maintain the minimum balance for 270 days to avoid bonus cancellation.
Can promotional pricing be combined with TradeStation’s commission-free trading?
+Yes, TradeStation’s promotional bonuses work alongside their TS Select plan which offers commission-free trading on stocks, ETFs, and options (with just $0.60 per contract fees). New account holders can earn signup bonuses while enjoying zero-commission trading benefits simultaneously.
Are there minimum balance requirements to avoid fees with promotional accounts?
+TradeStation waives the $10 monthly inactivity fee for promotional accounts that maintain either a $2,000 minimum balance for TS Select plans or execute at least 10 trades within any 90-day period. The $5,000 balance threshold applies to avoiding fees on lower-tier accounts.
Do TradeStation promo codes work for futures trading discounts?
+Yes, TradeStation offers specialized promotional codes for futures traders, including permanent 50% discounts on futures brokerage fees using codes like FUTRAFZT. These promotions apply to Entity, Individual, Joint, and IRA futures accounts but exclude FuturesPlus platform trades.
What happens if I withdraw funds before the promotional period ends?
+TradeStation may reduce or cancel your cash bonus if you withdraw or transfer assets from your promotional account before the required 270-day maintenance period ends. Asset fluctuations due to market movements don’t affect bonus eligibility, only manual withdrawals or transfers.
Are there different promotional codes for cryptocurrency and stock trading?
+TradeStation offers separate promotional codes for different account types, with some codes like TSTVAFYB providing $150 in Bitcoin for crypto deposits or $150 cash for securities deposits. However, cryptocurrency trading requires both TradeStation Crypto and Securities accounts to be opened together.
How often does TradeStation release new promotional campaigns throughout the year?
+TradeStation releases promotional codes regularly, particularly during major market events and seasonal campaigns. They also partner with educational platforms and trading communities to offer exclusive discount codes, with new promotions typically appearing monthly alongside their standard account bonus offerings.
