Navigating My Options Trading Application Status
Summary:
- The main problem reported by the user is the lack of an alert regarding the status of their options trading application, which prevents them from progressing.
- Fidelity suggested that the user contact them through the provided “Contact Us” link to check the status of the application and determine if any additional information is needed.
- Another representative confirmed that since the user did not receive any alerts, they might be all set, but a double-check could provide clarity.
Here’s the full thread
A few days ago I filled out the application to begin trading options. I recently went to check the status of the application and an alert saying “Additional information needed” with a link leading me to account alerts beneath it. I followed through this link as the prompt suggested and there were no alerts regarding my options application. I am at a standstill at the moment and would love to know where to go from here.
Thanks for reaching out to us, @DELIRIUM !
It is possible that you got an alert for something other than your options application. If you would like us to status your application, please contact us and we could take a closer look with you.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear in my previous message; the issue was that I never received an alert at all. I can’t further the application process due to this
Thanks for clarifying, @DELIRIUM! To determine if additional information is needed for your options application, you can use the “Contact Us” link above to either call or chat with a representative. Since you didn’t receive the alert you may be all set, but we can definitely double-check for you. 🟢
Thank you very much, I will use the link in a few hours once I’m not busy
