We have been publishing consistently for over 3 years with 200+ issues. Our track record spans bull markets, bear markets, and everything in between — which is why we're confident in the 95%+ win rate we publish publicly.

Free subscribers receive a weekly market overview and select stock picks — enough to get a sense of our analysis style. Paid subscribers get the full daily experience: real-time options alerts with exact strikes and expirations, short options/theta gang strategies, ETF & equity picks, and access to the complete closed positions log going back years.

Payments are processed securely by Substack via Stripe. We never store or handle your payment information directly. You can manage your subscription and billing from your Substack account dashboard.

We cover: stocks (entry/exit targets, stop losses), options (calls, puts, vertical spreads — with exact strikes and expirations), short options (premium-selling / theta gang strategies), ETFs, and equities. Every alert includes position sizing guidance.

Alerts are delivered by email through Substack. Paid subscribers receive real-time alerts when a trade is placed — not after the fact — so you have the same opportunity to enter at the same levels we do.

Paid subscribers receive daily alerts on market days, including pre-market analysis, intraday trade ideas, and post-market recaps. The frequency varies with market conditions — on busy days you may receive multiple alerts; on quiet days, fewer.

Yes, you'll need a brokerage account to execute trades. We're broker-agnostic — our alerts work with any platform that supports stocks and options (e.g., TD Ameritrade/thinkorswim, Robinhood, Webull, tastytrade, Interactive Brokers). For options trades, your broker must have options trading enabled on your account.

Yes. Every closed position is logged in the Closed Positions table on our homepage. You can filter by wins, losses, asset type, or search by ticker. Past issues are also available in the Substack archive.

Options trades inherently involve leverage. However, we focus on defined-risk strategies (buying calls/puts or spreads) that cap your maximum loss at the premium paid. We publish position sizing guidance with every trade so you can manage risk relative to your own account size.

We maintain an 95%+ win rate across all closed trades. This is calculated from every trade we've published — wins and losses included. You can verify this yourself in the Closed Positions table on the homepage, which shows every trade with its result.

A win is any trade that closed with a positive P&L — i.e., the exit price was higher than the entry price (for long trades) or the position expired worthless at a profit (for short options). We don't cherry-pick. Every closed position is logged, and the win rate is calculated from the full trade history.

Absolutely. Every closed trade — win or loss — is published in the Closed Positions log. Full transparency is a core principle of Tasty Stocks. We believe subscribers deserve to see the complete picture, not just the highlights.

Results are self-reported and not independently audited. However, every trade is published in real time with an entry price and date, making it straightforward to verify each result against historical market data. We encourage subscribers to check our numbers against public price data for any trade in the log.

No. Tasty Stocks is an educational and informational newsletter. Nothing published constitutes personalized financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. You should consult a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions. All content is for informational purposes only.

All investing involves the risk of loss, including the possible loss of principal. Options trading carries additional risks including the risk of losing the entire premium paid. Past performance — including our published win rate — is not indicative of future results. Market conditions change, and no strategy works in every environment. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Tasty Stocks is an independent newsletter and is not a registered investment advisor (RIA), broker-dealer, or licensed financial institution. We publish trade ideas for educational purposes. We are not regulated by the SEC, FINRA, or any financial regulatory body.

Refund requests are handled through Substack's support. In general, we encourage subscribers to use the free plan to evaluate the newsletter before upgrading to paid. If you have a billing concern, reach out via the About page or Substack support.
