Account

In the Account section we furnish you with important information about your account, including a section on Legal Documentation, Margin Commissions and Costs and how to fund your Tradestone Account.

Account Documentation: This section has our up to date Account opening form, Client agreement and Risk Disclosure information. You can take a look at the documents we will ask you to sign as a client of Tradestone. We have a fully automated form process which will walk you through the process when you are ready to proceed.

Margins Commissions and Costs Document: Each product we offer has a different margin schedule as set by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada(“IIROC”). These margins are dictated by volatility in markets and certain other considerations. As they change, we post new margin rates on this web page. Costs and Commissions are driven by product. There are no costs or commission in trading FX, however with Equities and some indices there are exchange fees. The exchanges sometime charge data fees and these are also laid out. If a client holds a position overnight, there are overnight funding charges and the calculation for these are laid out in this section.

Funding your Account: There are a number of ways of funding your account, from sending us a cheque drawn on a Canadian Bank or Financial institution or wiring a draft. We include information on where to send the funds in this section.

Regulators: This page has information about Canadian regulators
