Is tastytrade Good for Copy Trading?

tastytrade was built around active options and derivatives trading, which makes it a natural home for copying options-heavy strategies. If you already trade options at tastytrade, you can keep your account there and copy the strategies you choose into it. With RelayTrades you connect your existing tastytrade account without sharing your login or giving up custody.

How tastytrade copy trading works

You connect your tastytrade account to RelayTrades through SnapTrade, a secure layer, so your tastytrade password is never shared. When a strategy you follow trades, a matching order is routed into your own tastytrade account, scaled to your settings and checked against your risk limits first. Funds never leave your account.

Why tastytrade is a strong fit

• Built for options: an active-trading, options-first platform suits copying options strategies.
• Full asset coverage for copying: stocks, ETFs, and options.
• You keep control: revoke the connection, switch to manual approval, or pause automation at any time.
• Server-side safeguards: sizing multiplier, maximum position size, exposure and daily-loss caps, slippage protection, and a one-tap kill switch.

Your tastytrade account stays yours. RelayTrades provides automation support and safeguards, not capital management, and it never takes custody of your funds.

What to keep in mind

Options can move quickly and carry added risk, and an options-focused strategy can trade often, so watch position sizing, fees, and slippage carefully. Copy trading does not remove market risk: the trader you copy can lose money, and so can you. Size any strategy to your account and use your risk limits.
