founded — recorded as the UK entity's Companies House incorporation date (30 June 2004); the TradeStation brand's platform lineage traces to Omega Research (founded 1982), which is not the incorporation date of any current UK entity
maxLeverage — no leverage ratio published; margin requirements follow Interactive Brokers' policies (https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=24176); forex is available on a leveraged basis to qualified clients only
negativeBalanceProtection — no negative-balance-protection statement published; TradeStation Global is a securities/futures/FX introducing-broker arrangement rather than a retail CFD provider
minDeposit — the current FAQ answer on minimum deposit is truncated on the live site; the forex page states 'Initial funding minimum $1,000' and an archived FAQ (Oct 2022) stated 'the minimum initial funding deposit is $1000USD'
segregatedFunds — sourced from Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Ltd documents because client accounts and money are held with IBUK; TradeStation International Ltd's own terms contain no segregation statement
