How Can I Trade on Unusual Whales?
As you may have seen, Unusual Whales has partnered with TastyTrade to offer you on-site, in-platform trading tools right from your Unusual Whales Flow Feeds! You’ll also get a deposit bonus with qualifying deposit amounts, so be sure to check that out!
To get things set up, the first thing you have to do is navigate to the UW x TT dashboard to set up your tastytrade account. (If you already have a tastytrade account, you can skip right to the fourth (4th) image)
Opening an Account
To get to the Tastytrade landing page from the Unusual Whales Homepage first select “Extra”, then click on the Tastytrade option.
From the next landing page, you’ll select “OPEN AN ACCOUNT”. If you already have a Tastytrade account, select “Already have an account? Click Here” and move on to the fourth (4th) image.
Selecting “OPEN AN ACCOUNT” will take you to the Tastytrade signup page, with your Unusual Whales referral code automatically applied. Fill out that form and follow Tastytrade’s signup process, and create your account.
Link Tastytrade to Unusual Whales
Alright, you’ve got your account created; let’s fire this bad boy up within your Unusual Whales Flow Feed. From any Unusual Whales page, select the person icon in the upper right hand side of your browser, and click User Settings.
In the User Settings Dashboard, click the “Connect My Account” button under Tastytrade in the left-hand sidebar.
This will open the Tastytrade sidebar on the right hand side. Enter your Tastytrade username and password, then click “Sign In”.
Alright, we’re almost there. Once you login, the Tastytrade sidebar will remain open, and you can now select your account (if you have multiple accounts, they will all display here and you can choose or switch to whichever you’d like). After selecting your account, the Trade tab will open, and you can manually place equity or options trades here, and check open positions by clicking “Account Info”.
Placing and Managing Trades
As mentioned, you can also place trades directly from your Unusual Whales Flow Feed.
To do this when you see a contract in your flow that you like, click the cherry emoji next to the timestamp of the contract.
This will open the Tastytrade Trade sidebar with the selected contract pre-loaded.
- Select your order type (MARKET or LIMIT order, for example).
- Set your desired order price
- Verify the contract information, and action (Buy to Open, Sell to Open)
- Click SUBMIT
Conversely, if you want to search for and trade a different contract, you can enter in the contract information manually under the “Order” tab, as well (3. on the image below)
Congratulations; you’ve placed your first Tastytrade order from the Unusual Whales platform!
By clicking on the “Account info” tab within the Tastytrade sidebar, you can view and manage your open positions and your working orders, which display directly beneath your account information and balances. Within the Working Orders tab, if you want to cancel it to replace at a different price or style, you can click “Cancel” underneath the order information.
