Company information

The facts on file

Description
tastytrade is a US self-directed brokerage built around derivatives, covering futures, futures options, equities/ETFs, equity and index options, crypto, forex and event contracts in one account. Pricing is per-contract with no subscription tiers ($1.00 standard futures, $0.75 micros, each way), and the desktop platform bundles SPAN scenario analysis, an order ladder and cross-portfolio P&L tooling. It targets active retail derivatives traders — particularly micro-futures and futures-options traders running small-to-mid accounts.
