Licensing Issues

Before registering online, we recommend that you review the Guidelines for Acceptance and the TradeStation EasyLanguage Specialist Trademark and Logo License Agreement. Please read carefully, as the guidelines and agreement create legal and binding obligations on your part and rights and remedies in favor of TradeStation Technologies, and will be considered in determining whether you are accepted and retained in the program.

 
1.   What qualifications do I need to be licensed as an EasyLanguage Specialist?
   

You will be asked to list industry references during Step 3 of the registration process. These are individuals for whom you’ve done EasyLanguage programming work for. You will also be able to list other EasyLanguage Specialists or programmers who are familiar with your work. The quality of your active participation in the TradeStation EasyLanguage Support forums will be a factor in determining your eligibility.

5.   When I register as an EasyLanguage Specialist, will the exchanges (market data services) consider me a “professional”?
   

All licensed EasyLanguage Specialists, regardless of whether you register as an individual or type of legal entity (corporation, partnership or limited liability company), will be deemed a “professional” as defined by the exchanges.

You have the option to choose not to receive any real-time market data services. If you choose not to receive any real-time data, you will receive any delayed data that is offered at no charge by the various exchanges that offer such data. If you do choose to receive real-time market data from an exchange, you will also receive any free delayed data from all other exchanges that offer such data.

During the registration process, you will not be required to select which data services you wish to receive. This can be done during the TradeStation download process, when you will be prompted to select which market data services you wish to receive, and when you will also have time to review the complete list of such services along with their pricing.

Please note that if you wish to qualify for special NASDAQ data services pricing, you must call 954.652.7016 and speak with the TradeStation Add-ons Administrative Assistant.
