Tradier: Fees, Features, and More (2026)

Tradier is built for developers and algorithmic traders who want direct API access rather than a traditional trading platform. The brokerage offers stock and ETF trading plus ultra‑low‑cost options at $0.35 per contract, all routed through its robust Tradier API. Margin and IRA accounts are supported, but mutual funds, bonds, and crypto are absent—keeping the focus on programmable equity and options strategies with no minimum to open an account.
