10 Quick Ways to Place Stock Trades on thinkorswim | Getting Started with thinkorswim® | 1-29-24

My order page is nothing like the one you used, I like yours much better because its easier to view, can these be changed to be like yours or did they make a complete programing change and its set in stone? Thank you..

[@tradertalkswebcasts]

Each page on thinkorswim offers a range of customizations that might be made, but I suspect that the difference might be in the thinkorswim platform being used: First, please make sure you're using thinkorswim Desktop, which can be downloaded from the Trade tab in your Schwab online account. For assistance with setup, we have representatives standing by at 800-435-9050. Thanks again for watching! ^CM

Arbitrage is it possible on stocks and do you allow scalping and master indicator buy sell algo?

[@tradertalkswebcasts]

Arbitrage is still conceptually possible on stocks, but has become exponentially more difficult due to the automation of exchanges and the advancement of computer processing speeds. As for the indicator, it likely could be built via thinkScript, but single-session entries and exits must meet rules for Pattern Day Trading, regardless of signal or impetus. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching! ^CM

We Vision impaired folks would appreciate if you could and would increase the size of your pointer and have a trail behind it and possibly color. Its very difficult for us to follow, had to replay dozens of times, but learned a great deal, Thanks. 👀

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll see if I can implement that in future webcasts. Thanks for watching! ^CM

How hard is it to add click and drag SL and TP orders just like MT4?

[@tradertalkswebcasts]

Great question! Click-and-drag order functionality is available on thinkorswim Charts; just make sure "Show orders" is selected on the General tab of "Chart settings." Thanks for watching! ^CM

Can you show us, (e.g.: MSFT) while assuming the current price is 435.30, how to place an order to A) buy at 435.00, B) stop profit at 440.00, C) stop loss at 433.00? Thanks. PS: I can't find such placement from this video.

Happy to help! This scenario essentially describes the order Brent Moors demonstrates at 4:30 in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5jZh6OagZKcl68. The single adjustment would be to change the Buy order from Market to Limit. It would probably be a good idea to experiment with new order types in paperMoney first, before implementing in a live trading account. I hope this helps! ^CM
