Free Option Alpha Account with tastytrade

Option Alpha is now Free with a Qualifying tastytrade 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* tastytrade account.

We are excited to partner with tastytrade 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 tastytrade account(s) with at least $5,000
Maintain a minimum $5,000 account balance each month
Have an active trading integration with OA in the past 30 days

This applies to new and existing tastytrade accounts. Plus, the $5,000 minimum balance includes all funded accounts combined under your tastytrade credentials. So if you have $4,000 in one account and $3,000 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.

How to get your free Option Alpha Pro account

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

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

Once your qualified tastytrade account(s) is authorized and connected to Option Alpha, you can switch your plan to the tastytrade promo in your Settings and click the "Switch to tastytrade" button. This page shows you how.

If your membership is paid for on behalf of tastytrade, 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 $5,000 in cash or positions. To maintain your account, you must stay above the minimum balance and have an active trading integration with OA in the past 30 days.
