    Tastytrade Review + Criticism

    I just watched their latest research Tasty rade research team is like those ads where people dress in white to look like a doctor to pretend they have authority. TastyTrade doesn't understand the basic Scientific Method and how to test a theory. Their research probably works like. Tom: We need...

    Tastytrade Review + Criticism

    I think people should just try it and check if they make profit or not. They fail in comparing their strategy to others like simple stock trading etf bonds. Reality is options is a small percentage of an portfolio. They said that also but there is no business for them with stocks or etf so they...

    Tastytrade Review + Criticism

    In one of the shows he mentioned that they tried other brokers but seems only TD were open to business. He also claimed multiple times that they get nothing from their relationship with TD which I doubt

    Here's my automated trading platform

    I built a platform like this a few years ago for IB. It is not a lot of work to get a simulation, read-data, playback and even get a basic framework for strategy. But it is a lot of work to add Risk models, performance statistics, all perks for an algorithm like TA, fundamental, add...

    Tastytrade Review + Criticism

    Don't think one can define the risk of a spread or a naked without looking at the trade. There are low risk spreads and there are high risk. Of course most of the time only the later is available.

    Tastytrade Review + Criticism

    The fact Tastytrade runs only on TD is a big draw back for me, I use TD as a platform but I don't execute orders on TD. I wonder if tastytrade applied the default TD commission would they have any strategies with profit. Specially in the past few years when volatility has been going down and...

    Tastytrade Review + Criticism

    I am a huge fan of tastytrade but as a skeptic I think it is always useful to look at both sides. I found the old thread really useful and I would like to start a new thread. I hope members avoid personal attacks and keep the criticism fair. My main issue with the show are: 1 options is a...

    2 million Apple bid at 1.00 from BATS

    Everyday I see those huge Apple bids at 1.00 from BATS. Are these bids trying to catch mistakes what are their purpose? Skew the volume ? Mess with other algorithms? I never see the opposite say 2 million ask at say 1.000? I wish there was a book I could learn more about market...
