What you need
Littora sells cash-secured puts on your Interactive Brokers account. Accounts are by invitation. Have these ready before you open the link we send.
To start (paper)
-
An invitation code
One-time, from Littora. There is no public sign-up.
-
Interactive Brokers account
Your own IBKR login. Live stays on your phone and desktop.
-
US stock options enabled
Including cash-secured puts. In Client Portal: Settings → Trading permissions → Options (United States). Ask IB for the cash-secured / covered level if puts are not allowed yet.
-
An email you can open
We send the invitation there. You choose a password of at least 12 characters. We will not ask you to confirm that email again.
-
An authenticator app
Google Authenticator, 1Password, or Authy. After you choose a password, Littora asks you to scan a square once.
How the first connect works
-
You pick starting paper cash once
Littora’s book starts at that amount. Use the paper login that works on the IB website — usually a name, not the DU/DUR account number.
-
You do not install TWS for Littora
You do not install TWS for Littora. Do not open paper TWS with the same login while Littora is connected.
You must be allowed by IB to sell cash-secured puts. Live money is later, after paper is settled.
