ThinkorSwim Option Trading Trick || Active Trader

Carmine, thank you for this. I would be interested in the screen layout as well. [e-mail] Thanks!

[@lognn2561]

After watching your videos on option trading it gave me the confidence I needed to enter the market and I wanna thank you for that. My first option trade ever made me $449, you would’ve thought I won the lottery Keep up the good work you’re the first one I’ve ever listen to that I could understand

[@C00ltronix]

This is a nice setup, procedure. In Active Trader instead of 'Single' you can also define custom order, I define a target (like +1.00) and a trailing stop (like -0.20). This setting you can save with a specific name. You can do that in OnDemand too, however Trail Stops don't execute, that works only with real money. With Active Trader you can also set to see the current position P/L

[@NityaVink]

Wow. great to know. I love the trailingstop idea! fantasic. Is it -.20 for the price of the option or the price of the underlying?

[@C00ltronix]

@@NityaVink In In Active Trader you trade the target. If that's an option contract then it's that. So you need different trail stop settings. 0.20 can work in a low priced option.

[@ethanmarshall7822]

Wow! Can't wait to use this on Monday. It makes me sad how much money I've lost (whether decreasing a gain, or increasing a loss) due to slow execution time. Thank you my man. You get a sub.

No problem!

[@oranbooker1356]

Please can you please send me this setup. Thanks so much for your videos.

[@Spitfireseven]

That was pretty good. It was a different version of what is on here that can be so complex that you just give up half way through the video. I watched yours all the way through. There is a definite sequence of operations and nobody really lays it out in kindergarden fashion. I think that is because nobody wants to make this too simple or you get people that have no real buisiness trying to make it work on these systems. Some things just aren't for some people. Right now this ain't for me but that will change with ten more videos! Thankyou for your great take on things. Think or Swim is definitly flexible. A lot of programs are not. Thanks again.

[@sallymcellrath503]

[@petratrading2741]

There's a faster way. detach the option chain, and enable trade grid (in the option chain), and choose a color for the grid, and make sure it's the same color as the DOM and to send an option to the DOM you hit the letter next to the price. It only takes one click, no need to copy anything or save any quotes. and you can disable the trade grid after you choose a color. But you do need the chain up all the time. that's why I have multiple monitors

Quick question, you mentioned around 6:40 how you copied the strike price data, to see the bid and ask of that certain strike price. Why is there a second set of bid and ask for an individual option strike price?

[@shawnbowen6833]

Do the BUY MKT and SELL MKT buttons work for options on the active trader also? Or do you have to do limit orders only by clicking the price? When using the active trader for just stocks I like to use the flatten now button to get out asap. I know some people like limit orders but I'd rather lose a little off a market order and guarantee a fill than not get filled on a limit and possibly lose more. Wondering if options on there work the same way.

[@StewVlogs]

SELL TO OPEN....How do you use Active Trader to sell puts and calls? Are there any hot keys for that?

[@Lottodds]

Disregard. I figured it out. You click the little ARROW to open the drop box where you enter the ticker. You chose OPTIONS. Then you can choose either the CALL or PUT STRIKE. The chart will display then you simply click SELL. A confirmation window will appear showing that you are placing a SELL TO OPEN order. If you click AUTO-SEND, it immediately enters the order and does it without the confirmation window.
