Accounts & headline costs
Sections ↑Tradier is built around a subscription-and-API model. Its U.S. securities account is supplied by Tradier Brokerage, while futures are opened through Tradier Futures under a separate application and account. Lite, Pro and Pro Plus change the stock, options and futures commission schedule without removing exchange, clearing or regulatory charges.[1][3][5]
The plan choice therefore depends on activity and product mix rather than one headline commission. A Lite customer pays by trade or contract; a Pro customer pays US$10 monthly for zero stock and equity-option commissions; Pro Plus raises the monthly fee to US$35 while lowering index-option and futures commissions.[1]

Deposits, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑Tradier securities and futures accounts have different funding administration. The brokerage knowledge base distinguishes settled cash from unsettled trading proceeds and recent ACH deposits; the futures guide instead directs Dorman-cleared customers to the Dorman Portal. A transfer into one account does not fund the other automatically.[6][7]
Funding routes and availability
| Area | Published position | Practical detail |
|---|---|---|
| Brokerage ACH deposits | Recent deposits may have a four-day trading hold | The Funds Available to Trade guide describes available trading funds, not a universal external-withdrawal promise.Source 6 |
| Cash-account proceeds | Settlement controls available trading funds | Prior-day proceeds settle overnight under the documented T+1 workflow; avoid treating pending proceeds as cleared cash.Source 6 |
| Futures ACH | Dorman Portal → ACH → Create New Request | Choose incoming or outgoing and the CQG platform; Tradier Futures reviews the instruction.Source 7Source 8 |
| Futures wire or cheque | Separate alternatives in the funding guide | Use the instructions for the correct carrying firm and account; international wires can take longer.Source 7 |
| Recurring brokerage funding | Scheduled Deposits in the mobile funding controls | The published workflow makes deposits recurring; it does not place securities orders.Source 9 |

Opening an account & support
Sections ↑The official account-management guide covers account closure, multi-factor authentication, forgotten credentials, entity applications and trusted contacts. The legal library separately provides the customer, API, margin and ACH agreements, the funds-availability guidelines and business-continuity disclosure. Those agreements should be matched to the securities or futures account involved in an issue.[10][11]
A third-party platform connection is an interface to the approved account, not a replacement for the broker’s account permissions. For an uncertain order or transfer, use the official contact route and retain the account, order or transfer reference before sending another instruction.[4][3]
