What it does
TradeZero provides stock and options platforms, ProScanner, paper trading and developer access through regional entities. The International service offers a no-cost paper-account route for testing scans, and TZ1 supplies a browser workspace with drag-and-drop widgets and TradingView charts.
From scan to workspace
Open a Paper Trading account to inspect ProScanner. Filters include price, volume and performance; a scan can narrow the symbols worth examining in a chart. TZ1 combines that scanner with a configurable widget layout and single-leg options chain. A simulated result should be assessed separately from a live fill.
The International pricing page offers commission-free qualifying non-marketable limit orders. Market orders and marketable limit orders cost US$0.005 per share with a US$0.49 minimum. Options have a US$0.59 contract fee, and additional market, platform or service charges can apply. A free scanner or platform does not make every order free.
International brokerage starts with a US$500 account minimum and verification using photo ID, recent address proof and a tax identifier from the country of residence. Its exclusion rules cover the US, Canada and Bahamian citizens or persons domiciled in those jurisdictions; US and Canadian visitors should use the corresponding regional service. Check the selected entity before beginning registration.
