ThinkorSwim Option Trading Trick || Active Trader

If TD isn't paying you they should be! I've been trying to figure out how to do a lot of this on my own with little success. Thank you so much kind sir.

I know this video is 4 years+ old but very helpful still! I'm a dinosaur moving to the platform and this was the first helpful vid I've seen

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@jonathanlin6995]

Excellent!! I had already set my charts up similar to yours. I loved the copy & paste method so I could get to it quicker.

[@Medumex]

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?

Very helpful! I am trying to switch to TOS from less than desirable platforms and this fantastic!

[@jeannied7743]

Great, great, great informative video. Thank you

[@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

i trade small cap that like to move during after hours. How to setup an active trader template to puchase a stock and put a trailstop to get out after it reaches higest potential?

[@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.

[@sebastianwaseskuk8669]

is there a way to have a limit sell order pending and a stop sell order pending at the same time? This would be for the purpose of getting out and closing a long position. I had this issue today where I had a limit sell above the price for me to take my profits at the level but then when I wanted to simultaneously have a stop sell below the price just in case my profits began decreasing I wanted that intact. However the platform didn't let me. It said something about not having enough buying power or idk what. Could it be that it though I was trying to open a new short position since the limit sell was already pending to close?

[@jameskerry3826]

Thank you. This video helped. I learned things that I didn't know existed. (I think I picked up about half...but that's half I didn't know before - I just wish I could increase that to picking up about three fourths or more.) For ex: so much went over my head w/the far right screen placing orders, WHEN IT'S CONFIRMED; WHEN NOT and WHAT THE BID/ASK WERE. At least for me: Maybe make a video, where you compress/narrow the information, to a (start-to-finish, on just one part...slowing and how each screen/and where each screen was generated.)

[@heradio1000]

Hi. New subscriber. Love the channel and new to options. Thanks

[@Lottodds]

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.
