Tastytrade trading journal

About this integration

Tastytrade is one of the only brokers we integrate where multi-leg options strategies sync cleanly — iron condors, credit spreads, strangles, butterflies all appear with all legs preserved and per-leg P&L. If you trade complex spreads, this is the broker to connect.

Supported instruments

Access scope (read-only)

Read-only — accounts, positions, orders, transactions. The grant we request is `read`, so Tastytrade will not accept a trade or transfer instruction on this token at all.

We cannot place orders, transfer funds, or change account settings on this connection: the grant itself excludes them, so Tastytrade refuses those calls regardless of what our code asks for.

Setup

1. 1System → Brokers → Connect Tastytrade
2. 2Tastytrade sign-in (TFQ never sees your credentials)
3. 3Approve read-only scope
4. 4Multi-leg positions sync with all legs intact

How to export your trades from Tastytrade

Tastytrade writes its trade history at History → Transactions → Export. In TradeFlow Quantum that file imports with the Tastyworks / Tastytrade preset.

1. 1In the tastyworks/tastytrade desktop platform go to History → Transactions → Export.
2. 2In TradeFlow Quantum open System → Brokers → Upload CSV.
3. 3Choose "Tastyworks / Tastytrade" from the preset dropdown, then upload the file.

Header matching is case-insensitive and ignores punctuation and spacing, so a renamed-but-recognisable header still resolves. A file needs a ticker, an entry price, a size and a date to import at all; direction and P&L are filled in when present.

• •Underlying Symbol is accepted as a fallback for Symbol, which is what options rows carry.
• •Action holds the verbose tastytrade strings — Buy to Open, Sell to Close, Sell to Open, Buy to Close. The importer reads the opening and closing intent straight out of those rather than parsing a signed quantity.

How the Tastytrade connection syncs

Authorization

OAuth 2.0 with refresh tokens via api.tastyworks.com/oauth.

API host

api.tastyworks.com in production, api.cert.tastyworks.com in the sandbox.

Response shape

Every tastytrade endpoint wraps its payload as {data, context, pagination}; list endpoints nest again under data.items. The adapter unwraps once at the boundary.

Account lookup

GET /customers/me/accounts, then /accounts/{account_number}/transactions.

Access token lifetime

15 minutes.

Refresh token lifetime

24 hours, rolling.

First sync window

The last 90 days.

Tastytrade import caveats

• —The live sync uses the first account returned by /customers/me/accounts. Multi-account selection is a future Settings enhancement.

Why use TradeFlow Quantum instead of Tastytrade's built-in tools?

• ✓Cross-broker view. If you trade Tastytrade plus any other broker, TFQ unifies the equity curve, P&L attribution, and mistake-checker across all of them.
• ✓Mistake-checker on YOUR data — surfaces patterns in your Tastytrade history (time-of-day, setup type, emotional state) the broker won’t show you.
• ✓Long-term data ownership. Tastytrade’s built-in analytics typically limit history to 90 days or 1 year. TFQ keeps every trade forever, exportable to CSV any time.
