Do you already have a tastytrade account but are looking to create another one? At tastytrade, trading accounts house under one username/email address. So, whether you’re looking to open another account to separate trading strategies or open a cash account in addition to your margin account, or vice-versa, you may open additional trading accounts by logging in to your account at my.tastytrade.com.
Since trading accounts house by single username/email, customers may only have one customer profile. Any duplicate customer profile under a different username/email will get rejected when reviewed by our accounts team. Please refer to the instructions below to learn how to open an additional trading account.

How do I open another trading account?

How will my accounts display on the platform?
Trading accounts house on a username/email basis. For example, that means you can have a Roth IRA, Traditional IRA, and an individual margin account under one username/email. All accounts associated with your username/email will display on your platform, as illustrated below.

How do I open an account for a family member?
Looking to open a trading account for your wife, husband, daughter, son, or other family members (18+)? In that case, they will need to register with tastytrade, create a username, and go through the application process. You can link their account to yours by filling out a Limited Trading Authorization (LTA). Once linked via LTA, their account will display on your platform, similar to the example above.
