CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--tastyworks, one of America’s fastest growing online brokerages, announced an industry first for IRA investors. From the innovative team that has been changing finance since 1999, comes a full offering of option strategies in your IRA. tastyworks will allow for undefined risk positions in an IRA including strangles, straddles and naked calls.
Scott Sheridan, one of the original Co-Founders of thinkorswim and now the CEO of tastyworks said, “This effort has been in the works for a long time and finally, individual investors can be the ones who determine what strategies they want to use with their funds regardless of account type. We are super excited to cross this bridge and allow our clients to trade whatever option strategies they like in an IRA.”
tastyworks expects its clearing firm to complete their testing and lift its restrictions by March. At that point customers will be able to apply the new strategies in their IRAs.
tastyworks does not charge a fee to open an IRA or an annual fee to maintain an IRA account. tastyworks also introduced capped commissions in 2018 to further reduce trading fees.
