TastyTrade is an options-first brokerage platform founded by Tom Sosnoff and the team behind thinkorswim. Built with a probability-based approach to options trading, TastyTrade is designed for active options sellers who want fast execution, a clean interface, and integrated probability metrics. The platform includes a curve analysis tool for visualizing risk profiles across different price scenarios.
Commission pricing is straightforward: $1 per options contract to open, $0 to close, capped at $10 per leg. Stock trades are commission-free. TastyTrade is tightly integrated with tastylive, a 24/7 financial media network that provides live market analysis, strategy discussions, and educational content from professional traders.
TastyTrade is available on desktop, web, and mobile with consistent feature parity across platforms. It is best suited for active options sellers who value probability-based decision making, low commissions, and a community-driven learning environment. The platform focuses on trade execution rather than screening or portfolio management workflows.
Remora is an integrated options trading platform designed for options traders — income sellers, directional traders, and RIAs who want screening, portfolio tracking, optimization, and analytics in one place. Rather than switching between tools for different parts of the workflow, Remora connects everything from initial stock and options screening through trade tracking and performance analysis.
The platform includes 12 built-in spread strategies, a 500+ ticker IV rank dashboard, unusual options flow monitoring, a stock scanner, and earnings analysis. On the portfolio side, Remora offers wheel strategy lifecycle tracking, a portfolio optimizer that analyzes capital utilization and exposure, morning briefings, PDF reports, and shared portfolio links for client reporting.
Remora is built for traders who prioritize workflow efficiency over raw charting power. If you want to find trades, track your portfolio, optimize your positions, and review performance without leaving one platform, Remora is purpose-built for that workflow.
