We’re excited to announce that Tradier Brokerage is offering a promotion that makes Option Alpha FREE to all traders at the Pro+ level with a qualified* Tradier Brokerage account.

Together with the Tradier team, we’ve worked hard to make this a reality for you, and we’re so excited that automated trading is now more accessible for options traders than ever before.

“Wait, did you say free?”

Yes, you heard correctly. As long as you maintain an active connection between Option Alpha and your Tradier Brokerage account with a minimum balance of $2,000, you’ll enjoy a free Option Alpha Pro+ account. This promotion is valid through at least December 31st, 2023.

With your new upgraded account, you’ll have the power of 50 bots, with a $100k starting capital limit per bot and up to 500 backtests per month. Plus, you still get commission-free** trading when sending trades to Tradier Brokerage through Option Alpha.

Here’s how to get your free Option Alpha Pro+ account

There are only two simple steps:

1. Log in to your Option Alpha account. Don’t have one yet? Create your free account here.‍
2. Connect your Tradier Brokerage account to Option Alpha. Don’t have a Tradier Brokerage account yet? Open a new account here.

Once your Tradier Brokerage account is authorized and connected to Option Alpha, you’ll be automatically upgraded to Pro+ and can start trading live. From there, you’ll have plenty of room to test new trading ideas, run multiple strategies, and make a bigger overall commitment to trading this year.

*A Qualified Tradier Brokerage account has a minimum balance of $2,000 in cash or positions and maintains an active integration between Tradier Brokerage and Option Alpha.

Tradier Brokerage will then cover the cost of an Option Alpha Pro+ plan on your behalf. There is no need to pay in advance or submit anything for reimbursement; it’s all handled for you automatically (as any true automated trading platform should).

How long is my free Option Alpha Pro+ account active?

This promotion is valid until at least December 31st, 2023. You will enjoy a free Pro+ account if you maintain a qualified* Tradier Brokerage account and have an active integration with Option Alpha.

Do I need a certain account type?

Are there any additional costs?

Currently, there are no additional costs at Option Alpha for traders who qualify for the Tradier Brokerage promotion. Any future upgrade or advanced functionality beyond what is now available at the Pro+ level may cost an additional fee.

Can I still have multiple brokerage connections?

Yes. You can still connect Option Alpha to any or all of the supported brokerages we offer. As long as you maintain a Qualified* Tradier Brokerage account, your Option Alpha Pro+ account is free.
