TradeStation Group, Inc. (“TradeStation”) today announced the launch of TradeStation Europe B.V. (“TradeStation Europe”), a fully licensed MiFID Investment Firm in the European Union, regulated by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) in the Netherlands, to operate as an investment services firm in Europe.
TradeStation Europe marks a significant step in TradeStation’s strategy to bring advanced analytics and trading tools, concierge services and investment solutions to a broader global audience.
Headquartered in Amsterdam, TradeStation Europe is available in the 30 countries in the European Economic Area. The launch enables European investors, both retail and institutional, to access the same comprehensive product suite and trading infrastructure that TradeStation’s subsidiary, TradeStation Securities, Inc., has offered in the U.S. for decades.
"Traders around the world have long had to chain together disparate services just to reach U.S. markets — and that complexity is a barrier we set out to eliminate," said John Bartleman, President and CEO of TradeStation Group, Inc. "As markets grow increasingly global, investors expect seamless access to opportunities, no matter where they are. TradeStation Europe is a key step in building that global trading ecosystem: bringing together advanced technology, deep liquidity, and local regulatory strength to help empower traders everywhere."
"Launching TradeStation Europe simultaneously expands our footprint and establishes a long-term presence in a market where demand for sophisticated trading continues to grow," said Peter Comstock, President of TradeStation Europe. "We're combining more than four decades of TradeStation's infrastructure with local expertise, support, and regulatory oversight to deliver a seamless experience for both active traders and institutional clients across the region."
TradeStation Europe provides access to:
- U.S. equities, options, futures, and futures options markets via the same platforms trusted by U.S. investors for decades.
- Advanced trading technology and market reach, including real-time market data, charting, and analytics.
- A reliable, regulated European brokerage experience with local support and customization, compliance, and multi-lingual teams.
Efficient account funding options, including streamlined deposit and withdrawal processes designed to meet the needs of European clients.
"We congratulate TradeStation Europe on their launch, which will broaden local access to futures and options trading opportunities,"said Serge Marston, head of EMEA at CME Group, the world's leading derivatives marketplace. "At a time of heightened uncertainty, we're seeing increased participation across commodity and financial markets as traders look to manage risk and diversify their portfolios.”*
This expansion builds on TradeStation's broader momentum in platform innovation, including the launch of TITAN X, a next-generation trading platform with customizable workspaces, advanced multi-asset capabilities, and flexible API integrations that support custom workflows and third-party connectivity — as well as the recent introduction of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connection, enabling traders to integrate AI assistants directly with their accounts for more conversational, automated interactions with market data and trading workflows.†
