TradeZero Europe B.V. announced the expansion of its services into Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, and Denmark, extending its presence beyond its initial launch in the Netherlands. The move advances the company’s objective of widening access to advanced trading capabilities for active traders and investors across Europe.
Headquartered in Amsterdam and operating under a MiFID investment firm license issued in the Netherlands, TradeZero Europe provides clients with direct access to U.S. equities and options through its professional-grade trading platforms. The firm offers a USD-denominated trading environment in which no exchange rate conversions are applied to individual trades.
Through TradeZero Europe, clients have access to extended pre- and post-market sessions and bi-directional long and short trading beyond standard market hours. These features are positioned to support active traders who require flexibility outside regular trading sessions.
Platform features and commission model
TradeZero Europe’s platforms offer integrated tools designed for active traders, including extended trading hours and advanced order capabilities. The company applies a per-share commission model that aligns trading costs directly with trade size. This structure scales proportionally with each execution and differs from flat or notional-based fee models, which may disadvantage active traders.
The announcement follows the recent launch of ProScanner, a real-time U.S. equity market scanner integrated into the ZeroPro and TZ1 platforms. ProScanner is designed for traders who rely on scan-first workflows to identify potential opportunities before and during the trading day. By embedding scanning functionality directly within the trading workspace, the tool allows users to monitor momentum, gap activity, and volume changes in real time without switching platforms.
Strategic expansion in Europe
Dan Pipitone, Co-Founder & CEO of TradeZero Holding Corp., said the continued European expansion extends access to the institutional-grade tools and trading environment that define the TradeZero offering. Michiel Lerou, CEO of TradeZero Europe B.V., stated that the expansion reflects the strength of the foundation established in the Netherlands and emphasized the firm’s focus on supporting active traders while contributing to fair and orderly markets.
According to Lerou, this focus is underpinned by disciplined operations, sound risk management, and a trading environment supported by a 24/7 customer service framework designed to assist traders across time zones.
TradeZero initially entered Europe in November 2025 with a Netherlands-only entity positioned as a provider of direct U.S. equity and options trading for retail clients on the continent. The parent company, TradeZero Holding Corp., also operates regulated brokerage subsidiaries in other international markets, including Canada, where it received regulatory approval in 2022.
