Options-focused platforms
Broker Review
tastytrade Options
Established in 2017, tastytrade Options centers its workflow on options chains, probability analysis and futures-style risk visualization. Ownership or founding is associated with Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan; now IG Group, which also shapes the product’s technology and distribution. It should be evaluated on the precise legal entity serving the customer, not only the consumer brand. The service is not separately listed and therefore has no standalone market capitalization.
Strengths
- Centers its workflow on options chains, probability analysis and futures-style risk visualization
Drawbacks
- At tastytrade Options, the feature set that distinguishes tastytrade Options can add complexity, service charges or eligibility rules that a buy-and-hold customer may never use
