Switch to tastyworks
In August of 2019, I stumbled upon Tom Sosnoff, tastytrade, and tastyworks [1].
I've been doing a lot of research since I started this project, and listening to various podcasts (e.g. Chat With Traders) – trading and real estate related. The path led me to Option Alpha and tastytrade. I devoured the free content available on Option Alpha and then moved on to the free content available on tastytrade. tastytrade's mechanical approach really resonated with me – making trading decisions based on IV Rank and probabilities.
So I decided to leave TradeStation for tastyworks [1] (the platform used and promoted by tastytrade). tastyworks [1] has incredible customer service, lower commissions, and a better trading platform, at least for what I’m trying to do.
