What is the maximum number of options contracts per order ticket on Tastyrade?

I am looking into opening an account with Tastyrade to trade options, after experiencing disappointment with IB's paper money platform. I believe Tastyworks has a limit of 250 contracts per ticket as per their website, but they say this can be exceeded by contacting their support.

So in that case, what is the actual maximum number of options contracts one could trade per ticket? Thinkorswim has a 99,999 limit per ticket, and IB's limits seem to change based on whatever the latest platform glitch is at the time. Can one trade more than 250 contracts on Tastyrade? As that seems rather a low number for scaling etc.

Thank you

@Con1991, just curious: why is it so important? Why not simply split the qty into multiple orders?

Because it is simply convenient to be able to open the desired quantity in one order ticket. Especially if the strategy requires more than a certain number of contracts. So far, TD is the only broker I have encountered that does not have such restrictive order limits.

I shall. Thread of the year. Dude is paper-trading and wants to start trading vol by opening positions 20X the 8.30 position limits.

I know. You're going to reply and embarrass yourself further.

The only person embarrassing themselves is you, with your compulsion to post stupid, sanctimonious comments and replies. Do yourself a favour and go back to sleep. This thread is for people who want to help, not those who want to act the clown. Bye bye.
 
hi.

do you math? price a 1K lot PNL and multiply. Imagine you're going to attempt to trade 50K contracts. The microstructure impact is prohibitive. It simply cannot be perceived as beneficial.

Just roll over until the urge passes to post these stupid paper trades to SM. You'll never be in a position to fill the size you're whining about.

You're weighing the benefits of a front-end based upon the contract limits of their paper trading platform? WTF is wrong with you?

Call them. You keep opening these absurd/pointless threads.
