Option Alpha is now Free with a Qualifying TradeStation Account

Exciting news traders! We are thrilled to announce that an Option Alpha Pro membership is now FREE to all traders when connecting to a qualified* TradeStation account.

We are proud to partner with TradeStation to offer this incredible promotion, and together our goal is to bring automated trading to even more options traders than ever before.

“Did you say free??”

That’s right! All you need to do to activate your free Option Alpha Pro account is:

• Open and/or fund your TradeStation account(s) with at least $10,000
• Maintain a minimum $10,000 account balance each month
• Keep an active connection between Option Alpha and TradeStation for a rolling 30-day period

This applies to new and existing TradeStation accounts. Plus, the $10,000 minimum balance includes all funded accounts combined under your TradeStation credentials. So if you have $5,000 in one account and $6,000 in another account, you’d still qualify.

Your free Pro account includes 50 bots, with a $100k starting capital limit per bot and unlimited backtests. Plus, you still get commission-free** trading and no assignment fees when sending trades to TradeStation through Option Alpha.

How to get your free Option Alpha Pro account

There are only two simple steps to get your free Pro account:

1. Log in to your Option Alpha account. Don’t have one yet? Create your free account here.
2. Connect and authorize access to your TradeStation account(s). Don’t have a TradeStation account yet? Open a new account here.

Once your qualified TradeStation account(s) is authorized and connected to Option Alpha, you’ll be automatically upgraded to Pro and can start trading live. You’ll have everything you need to test new strategies, run multiple bots, find new trading ideas, and unlock all the automated options trading tools at Option Alpha.

If your membership is paid for on behalf of TradeStation, you'll be required to do all your Option Alpha trading through that authorized account.

*A "Qualifying" or "Qualified" account has a minimum balance of $10,000 in cash or positions. To maintain your account, you must stay above the minimum balance requirement on a rolling 30-day period and maintain a minimum level of activity in your Option Alpha account on a 60-day rolling period.

**$0.00 equity commission up to 10,000 shares per trade. $0.00 per trade & $0.00 per contract. Index options, clearing fees, and exchange fees are not included.
