I only signed up with tasty trade because I was assured that I could trade crypto on trading view with tasty trade, which is not the case there’s not even one currency that I can trade

It does NOT have the DOM feed for Futures... hard to trade w/o that

Good execution. Support is good although it took a day longer to open a second account than I would have expected. Spreads can be wide during the opening but I do not have any comparison to other brokers so the spreads may be normal.

Very low fees, option charting.

The fees for futures are quite high. The overall layout of Tasty is not intuitive.

Futures: Slow trade executions especially during high volume hours. No lower intraday margin rates. Commissions are mid, not the worst but not the best.

Tasty is the only platform that allows you to view a beta weighted portfolio to SPX for both equities and futures. Their tools are the best across all form factors when you need to trade at your desk or on the go. No one else makes option strategy selection and DEFENSE as easy as tasty.

Although they have a good platform for trading options, I would not recommend to anyone with this broker. For your zero DTE credit spread options, this broker will automatically closed your positions even though you're 50 points away to the ITM. I've been robbed hundreds of dollars in commission fees and the debit for having my positions automatically closed by the platform even though I checked "I'm monitoring" on their expiration risk monitoring. The trick is to adjust and roll your positions to next day by 12:20 pm PST on your zero DTE so that their platform will not automatically close your zero DTE and have to pay commission and the worst debit option price.

The interface is slow, fills are not accurate, the connection fails, and there are a lot of issues with the link on trading view. i use it because I have multiple options of assets, but i am not satisfied with the quality

Brokers provide access to financial markets and execute trades. They act as intermediaries between traders and exchanges, providing the necessary infrastructure and tools to place buy and sell orders. They offer services such as order execution, market access, research, analysis, and customer support. Additionally, brokers facilitate the use of leverage, margin trading, and help ensure regulatory compliance, providing traders with a secure environment to trade effectively. Without brokers, individual traders would struggle to access markets and execute trades efficiently.
An order is an instruction for a broker to execute a trade - buy or sell an asset on behalf of a trader. Depending on your strategy, risk tolerance, and market condition, different kinds of orders can be more or less effective, let's see the basic ones.
- Market order. It's a basic type designed to buy or sell an asset immediately at the next price available
- Limit order. Specifies the maximum (for buying) or minimum (for selling) price at which a trader is willing to execute a trade. It's only executed if the price reaches the preset level. There are buy and sell limit orders - they're set to buy/sell an asset at or below/above a certain price
- Stop order. Triggered when an asset moves above or below a certain price level, always executed in the direction that the price is moving. There are stop-loss orders (automatically closes a position at a certain level if the market moves against you) and (initiates a trade when the price breaks a certain level)

A broker's rating on TradingView is based on its clients' reviews. We ensure broker ratings reflect real user experiences by allowing reviews only from verified TradingView users with active linked accounts. Recent ratings carry more weight, providing up-to-date insights for informed decisions. This approach promotes transparency and prevents manipulation. Make sure to rate your broker to help it improve its service and assits other users in their choice.
Leverage is a mechanism that allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. It basically means borrowing funds from a broker, often multiplying your position size by 5x, 10x, or more. For example, with 5x leverage, a $100 deposit could open a $500 trade with your broker lending you $400 you don't have. It's a popular technique, but remember that while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies losses, which is why it's essential to learn how to manage risks.

It's always worth preparing for trades before actually executing them. On TradingView, you can do this with our Paper Trading functionality.
Margin trading means an investor buying an asset by borrowing the balance from a broker. It allows traders to increase their buying power, enabling larger positions with less upfront capital. While it can provide greater market exposure with less capital and amplify potential gains, it also comes with increased risks:
- Increased risk of losses, including exceeding initial investment
- Interest costs on borrowed funds
- Potential for margin calls requiring additional deposits
Make sure to analyze an asset thoroughly and test your strategy on a Paper Trading account to ensure you're ready to navigate these risks.
Commissions in trading are fees that brokers charge for executing trades on behalf of traders. These costs help brokers maintain their platforms, provide essential services, and ensure smooth access to financial markets.

Understanding commission structures is essential for traders, as fees can impact overall profitability. Choosing a broker with competitive rates and transparent pricing ensures cost-effective trading.
