Commission Sharing Program

Allocating commission dollars equitably and with precision is made simpler for TradeStation Prime Services institutional clients with our Commission Sharing Program (CSP). It provides you with the flexibility to allocate a portion of your commission dollars to different broker-dealers of your choosing, while still meeting your regular research and advisory service commitments.

By trading stocks and options through broker-assisted or self-directed electronic trading, managers can use commissions to pay for all eligible research. This includes research from specialty and regional broker-dealers, independent boutiques, and analysts, as well as data and analytical services. 

Flexibility, Accuracy and Anonymity

The flexibility, accuracy and anonymity provided by CSP enables our institutional clients to meet “best execution” obligations on a consistent basis. Having the ability to determine the dollar value of each separate service you receive, as CSP does, puts you in full control of the situation. Moreover, being able to share commissions in a fair and compliant manner increases an institution’s credibility, sustains relationships, and can make an important contribution to your overall performance.
