Head to Apex Clearing Corporation's website (https://www.apexclearing.com/) or click here. Once you arrive at Apex Clearing Corporation's website, please click the login button in the top right-hand corner.

After clicking the login icon you will see a login area. Please enter your tastytrade account username or email and click Create User ID on the bottom left-hand corner of the login window.

You're now in the New User ID Setup portal at Apex Clearing Corporation. To proceed, click the Next > > button.

Now, enter your tastytrade account number. Click the NEXT > > button after entering, located beneath the account number text field. If you do not know your account number and want to look it up, then please log in to your account at tastytrade.com. Your account number is listed below Account Status. When entering your account number, please do not include any dashes, for example, 5WT00123.

Now we're at Step 2 within the New User ID Setup. Enter your social security number (SSN) WITHOUT DASHES. If you are setting up an entity account, such as an LLC, then please enter the Tax ID Number (TIN). After entering your SSN or TIN (without dashes), please click the Next > > button, located under the text field.

We're almost done. At Step 3, enter your e-mail address. then click Next > > to proceed

At Step 4, you'll need to select a Secret Question from the drop-down list as well as input an answer. Your "Secret Question" is similar to a security question. Once complete, press "Next > >" to move onto the last step.

We've arrived at the last step: Step 5. Please create your Apex Online username and password. Please create a User ID (may be alphanumeric; minimum length of 6) and password. Passwords must be at least 8 characters in length and contain at least 1 lowercase letter, 1 uppercase letter, 1 digit, and 1 special character (e.g. !@#$%^&*~?). After entering your password and confirming it, please click the "Finish" button.

You're all done! You may now use these credentials when logging into Apex Online, as illustrated in Step 1. Keep these credentials in a safe place so you don't forget it. Methods of safekeeping might be printing out this page, writing it down and putting it in a safe place, or tattoo it to your body.
