Tastytrade does not execute your trades. I opened the account a couple of months ago. Today started trading options. Try to close only one small contract. It took 5 minutes. Tiny trade. Only $20 contract. Excellent OI, Vol, and spread. Then tried to open a very good trade. 100 contracts LP. OI 12K, Vol 150K, bid/ask spread only 1 to 2 cents. Wait for 8 minutes and did not execute. lost an opportunity to profit 50%. Start going way back then, I need to cancel it. Contact Customer Care, and they said nobody wants to fulfill my LP. He tried to show me that it was my fault. Asked for Vol, Spread, trying to suggest I didn't do my homework. With that liquidity? Anyway, on IBKR, my main platform, this never happened. Tasty charges less fees, but if trades cannot be opened or closed there, how can a trader make money with them? Very disappointed with the platform and how customer care agent handle my complaint.

Thanks for your review and sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately with limit orders you are not guaranteed a fill; if you wish to entice a fill on a limit order, you can consider adjusting your limit price closer to the market to see if it fills, if you are comfortable adjusting the price.
