FAQs

With tastytrade, there’s no minimum account balance to trade CME futures in a margin account.

But if you’re trading in an IRA, start-of-day net liquidation must be $25,000 for standard CME futures contracts and futures options and $5,000 for CME micro E-mini futures and CME options on micro E-mini futures. Whichever account you use, you need to ensure that overnight requirements are met.

The question of which is better between futures and options has no particular correct answer. It depends on how you want to get exposure, what your risk appetite is, and the trading time horizon. Upon doing a deep dive on both futures and options, you’d be better poised to make a decision based on your needs.
You can buy and sell futures on the tastytrade trading platform by following our steps on how to trade futures. The tastytrade trading platform also offers the active trader interface, purpose-built for active futures traders.
We offer multiple account types, including individual accounts, IRAs, business accounts, trusts, and more. Based on your trading experience, you can trade on margin or with cash.

You can trade futures with tastytrade on desktop, web, and mobile platforms.
