PLANTATION, Fla., Dec. 5, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TradeStation, the award-winning broker-dealer and futures commission merchant, announced today the launch of its new TradeStation Strategy Network Beta website, which is hosted and offered by its affiliate, TradeStation Technologies. This launch introduces an "app store"-styled marketplace of trading software strategies, trading indicators and other trading idea-generation tools created by independent software developers to run on TradeStation. The site currently offers over 800 trading tools that TradeStation brokerage customers can incorporate in their trading strategies and decision making.
"TradeStation Strategy Network allows our clients to try hundreds of trading tools for free," said Frank Fernandez, Director of Developer Platforms. "These tools download directly into the TradeStation platform so that our clients can start evaluating them by simply clicking on one button. Once our clients have found the tools that are right for them, they can lease them on a monthly basis for a competitive fee."
