Having opened an account with… Having opened an account with Tastytrade in January this year, I went on to fund it finally some weeks ago. Although the platform is quite good, despite being buggy at times, my trading experience was horrendous. Days after placing my first trade, my account was set to 'closing only'. When I inquired as to why this was, a member of the trade desk informed me it was because I was 'placing uneconomical trades'. My primary strategy involves trading deep in the money vertical and calendar spreads, because one is able to use low margin, and avail of high profitably for such trades. I asked them to reset my account to place trades again, to which they obliged but only on condition I no longer used these strategies that they didn't like. All the while feeling like a scorned child, and email correspondence that was very dicatatory in tone from customer service. However, when I began trading again, this time using closer to the money trades, albeit somewhat still ITM, I managed to have a diagonal spread fill 5 contracts for a very small risk yesterday, that I also managed to close out for a profit of $820. Then I received an email from Tastytrade again, informing me that because I went against company policy by implementing such trades, my account was again set to closing only and effectively closed. My next step is withdrawing my legitimate profits from my account, and seeking a worthwhile broker whom appreciates my business, and will not excessively micromanage my account in such a ridiculous way. I do not recommend Tastytrade to anyone. Steer clear of this very underhanded brokerage!!

The tastytrade customer support team… The tastytrade customer support team are excellent. I had a put credit spread that was expiring ITM, both legs, and they told me my options in very easy to understand manner. Since it was a defined trade, it worked.

Extremely Responsive and Quick Help When Needed Both times I chatted with the help desk it was immediately responded to and both experts were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Tastytrade is a great experience all around!

Moved to Tasty in 2023 Moved all my accounts to Tasty in 2023 and haven't looked back. Their trading tools are fast, intuitive and consistent across all platforms. Their chat, email and phone support are extremely responsive and friendly. Overall, their dedication to the retail trader are amazing. And their education arm, TastyLive is HUGE benefit as well.

Better tax statements please! As a EU investor, it is a great platform that allows you to buy stocks cheaply, as well as access to US etfs. My only problem with it is that the tax report for capital gains is a simple worksheet, which doesnt look very official in case I need to present it to my local tax authorities. Like another user wrote, I also wished they had a consolidated tax statement with all the trades, dividends by symbol and the profits/losses, instead of dozens of daily activity statements and monthly account statements. Just have an official looking profit/losses document for the whole year, since my local tax auhority would likely not like the current non-official looking worksheet or the dozens of pdfs.
