Buy and Sell Stocks Commission-Free
When buying and selling stocks with tastyworks, you won't pay any commission - this applies to an unlimited number of shares. So, whether you buy or sell 10 shares or 200 shares, both trades would still be commission-free.1
Unlike trading equity or ETF options, which are equivalent to 100 shares of a stock per contract, you're able to place stock and ETF orders that are less than 100 shares. These are referred to as odd lot stock orders.
Options on stocks and ETFs also differ commission-wise: you'd pay an opening commission of $1.00 per contract, which is capped at a maximum of $10.00 per leg, and zero commission to close.5
