GigaTrade offers stocks, stock options, futures, and options on futures and micros in a single, customizable workspace, accessible via web and mobile app.

The platform arrives at a moment of clear market demand: a growing cohort of sophisticated self-directed traders — active in options, futures, and multi-leg strategies — has been chronically underserved by platforms that either lack advanced tools behind high minimums or bury costs and fees in opaque fee structures that claim to be clear. GigaTrade seeks to eliminate both problems with respect for the multi-faceted trader of today.

“Today’s traders are sharper than ever — we’re talking about multi-faceted people running multi-leg strategies before the market opens, even college students running futures trades between classes. They deserve a platform that respects their skills and fuels their ambition. GigaTrade was built to match their sophistication: fully customizable, multi-asset viewpoints, competitively priced, with tools that actually empower you. If your motivation has outgrown your platform, you belong here.” — Jeffrey Schwartz, Founder | GigaTrade

GigaTrade’s launch comes on the heels of one of the most consequential regulatory shifts in retail trading in decades. Effective June 4, 2026, the $25,000 minimum equity requirement for Pattern Day Traders is gone — removing a 25-year barrier for the motivated, active traders that GigaTrade was built for.

GigaTrade Brokerage LLC is a FINRA-member Fully Introduced Broker-Dealer and NFA Member Introducing Broker — a dual regulatory status that reflects the company’s full multi-asset scope and commitment to operating at the highest standard across equities and futures markets.

Motivated Traders Deserve A Place That Matches Their Motivation

Today’s self-directed traders are moving at their own pace, and too many platforms aren’t built to keep up — they’re searching for stocks, options, and futures in one intuitive workspace, with tools that respect their sophistication and pricing that’s independent of their trading volume. GigaTrade was built to grow with them, with an ear to the ground and an eye on what’s next.

Ready when you are. No onboarding marathon, no interface archaeology — just a clean, customizable workspace built around how you trade.

A Unified Multi-Asset Workspace. Trade stocks, stock options, futures, and futures options in one fully customizable environment. Heatmaps, full Greeks, tailored watchlists, hotkeys, drag-and-drop widgets, theoretical prices and custom multi-leg options strategies up to four legs—all in one place. High-speed, low-latency data for confident execution.

A Mobile App That Keeps Up With Your Momentum. GigaTrade’s mobile app offers full trading capabilities across asset classes on the move instead of acting as a limited, stripped-down companion. See all positions across markets in one connected view. Manage complex options positions with clarity and speed, wherever you are.

Same-Day Funding and Trading: Apply, fund, and trade on the same day. One approved application can unlock all asset classes — no redundant approvals, no friction. Integrated with Plaid for instant verification and enterprise-grade security.

Free 14-Day Platform Demo: Step into the driver’s seat with GigaTrader, GigaTrade’s multi-asset trading platform, to test trading stocks, stock options, futures, options on futures, and micros. No commitment required.

Pricing Built To Empower Traders Who Do the Math

GigaTrade’s pricing model was designed for those who run the numbers — in fact, their team encourages you to.
