How to Close Spreads on ThinkorSwim Desktop Platform

[@shortthestrike]

Hope this helps, but let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to cover!

Thanks for the video. I have a follow-up question: Is it possible to set up an OCO (One-Cancels-the-Other) order to close a spread? For example, after buying a spread, can I set up an OCO order where one is a sell limit order triggered when the spread reaches a target threshold, and the other is a sell order at any price to close the position on the day before expiration if the first order doesn't trigger? I'm considering this approach because I've heard stories of people forgetting to close a spread and running into issues where one leg gets exercised after market close, while the protective leg expires and can no longer be exercised to cover the other leg when the investor is notified about the exercise.

Thank you soooo much for this. Im getting better by the day because of you.

Outstanding explanation! The redundancy of showing how to close 3 trades really helps understanding something when you are new at it. I am going to watch all of your videos.

[@Trevor_Fielding]

[@Brenda-ls2qo]

Thank you Schwab just switched over to TOS and I was trying to figure out how to close these damn multi-leg strategies

[@kamalny3]

[@tonyreisdorff3640]

Great content; this is exactly what I need. Thank you!

[@dannynguyen3572]

Could you go over a example chart entry exit for vertical spreads? I saw you did a BOLLINGER scan which was really interesting and wondered if that’s one of your main go to entries or what others you do. Thanks for the amazing videos!

[@user-dd1vd1xh6x]

Thanks, good video! I have a question, though, I want to be able to close my vertical put spreads if the underlying hits my breakeven price. I can't find anything on this topic, I hope you can help. Kind of like a stop-loss on a vertical put. Thanks!

[@youyou-dv8fr]

Can you pls do the same video for Fidelity Active Trade Pro platform. Thank you!

[@MoMoadeli]

@shortthestrike How are you adding the long and short so quickly in TOS and circumventing the cumbersome BUY/SEL popup?

[@elroyblackbean]

Love your channel.

[@user-um6np4yk5y]

very helpful !!! thanks

[@user-mf2fd6dq8x]

My gf needs to learn how to Spreading...lol.hahaha

[@elroyblackbean]

Thank you for this. I'm relatively new to TOS, and although I can see its power and control over Tasty (the platform I'm currently using), I find TOS really difficult to look at and decipher -- it's like one big brick of monochromatic, all capitalized text which makes it more difficult to make quick decisions or understand the impact of a particular action. Do you have any recommendations or secrets to customizing TOS (beyond bg colors, etc.) in a way that makes it more readable and user friendly?

[@OptionSpreadProfits]

Hi, i loved the video. But what if you dont get filled? Will you modify your closing price (or mark)? Can you pls explain. Thank you

[@victoriablykefloridarealto1881]

Hi, would you know if there Is a way to link a customized shortcut key to an OCO template I had created. So that instead of rt. clicking on desired bid, scrolling to choose Sell Custom, then choosing the one I created, I can just do it quickly? Secondly, can I close all open positions with a shortcut key?

[@TraderDT]

Well done. THank U :)

Options commissions per contract are steep limits the viability of many stategies I prefer brokers with a flat commission or no commission I only use td for information
