PLANTATION, Fla., Sept. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TradeStation, a Monex Group company and award-winning* online broker-dealer and futures commission merchant, announced today that it will extend the TradeStation Salutes program to first responders, including police offers, firefighters, paramedics and EMTs.
Under the expanded program, all active-duty U.S. military personnel, U.S. military veterans and first responders will receive commission-free trading for stocks, ETFs and options, reduced-fee commissions for futures, a waiver of all inactivity fees, free premium trading tools like RadarScreen® and free non-professional real-time data.
In addition, TradeStation will continue to provide a robust educational offering specifically geared to military personnel and first responders. Developed in association with prominent financial education firms, the program is geared to traders and investors with varying levels of trading and investment experience. The curriculum, taught by industry experts, offers program participants a comprehensive educational overview of investment concepts and trading techniques for equities, options and futures.
The TradeStation Salutes program is available to all active-duty and retired U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. National Guard and U.S. Coast Guard personnel, as well as first responders, who open a new TradeStation brokerage account.
“TradeStation Salutes was initially developed to honor the sacrifice of U.S. military personnel, past and present, who defend the freedoms and liberty we as Americans often take for granted,” said John Bartleman, President of TradeStation Group, Inc. “As the tragic flooding in Texas and Louisiana remind us, everyday heroism and sacrifice are not limited to the battlefield. Extending the program to first responders who work day in and day out to safeguard our security just makes perfect sense. This is our way of recognizing and giving back to all those who proudly serve their country – and their local communities.”
