I dead set love everybodys skepticism on here. but you need to come from at least some tiny bit of experience to be an educated skeptic.
I cant believe you have guys on here falling for the most basic of scams like paying $5K to manage a 20K account, but when something comes along that is FREE, from experienced traders trying to stick it to US banks with their own money and not charging you a cent nor trying to sell you anything... you get all on your high horse without the smallest of research.
1. it is a talk show, there is a lot of banter -they have to fill 6 plus hours a day of content, it would be boring as batshit if there was no banter.
2. They use ALL their own money and they publish ALL their trades and profits in the public domain. You can see the actual trades being placed live and you can also see them on the platform. ALL OF WHICH IS FREE.
3. The video you watch is about margin - yawn. Pick something good like the top dogs segment and managing straddles and strangles. Watch the Rachel series on Where do i start. Again ALL FREE.
Dude, do some research, more than 7 minutes worth and work out for yourself if it suits your trading personality. I have been doing this for over a decade and i make money doing it. Not massive amounts, but easily 4 times what the benchmark is each year and i do it without looking at a screen all day.
Again may not be your style, you may want to sell futures and go direction based on Tech signals, if that is the case - then this is not for you. This is maths based trading, nothing more and nothing less.
But the question i put to you - is how does tastyworks makes money, that is what you need to find out to see if it is a scam. It is what you should ask anyone who wishes to sell you something in this sector.
PEACE
