Is it possible to use Thinkorswim just for tracking purposes like a Yahoo Finance?
I know they have the papermoney option but that caps at $100k.
Look at you!!!McInnis 03 said:
I also detach this flex grid of market indicators to watch the TICK, TRIN, VOLSPD, and VIX at any time in a separate window.
Any good resources for getting a better grasp on market indicators and how best to use them? I know it's a little bit "voodoo math", but having a good foundation of what other traders are doing and basing decisions on always helps.McInnis 03 said:

Have people found the premium subscription to usethinkscript.com to be worth the cost? Wondering about the "Buy the Dips" indicator and the "Swing Trading Scanner" and if anyone has had success with those?FJ43 said:
Y'all may already go here or use this site but if not this is a great resource for codes/studies you can bring into your TOS.

Type scan into the search field and there are a number of good scan setups.
I haven't done the premium subscription and have been able to find the main scripts needed or at least looking for without it. I would bet though there are some great tools available via premium.StrawberryFields said:Have people found the premium subscription to usethinkscript.com to be worth the cost?

assuming you're wanting EMAQuote:
I'm finally getting around to working on my setups. When adding studies to your charts. What do y'all select for your 8,21,50,200 EMA lines.
I use the EMAs as you have listed with 8, 21, 50 & 200.CPDAggie10 said:

There are so many options it's almost overwhelming.
DEMA, DMA, DailySMA, AdaptiveEMA and many more.... which one?
Hmmmmm not sure on the error message. Maybe someone else can chime in if they've also successfully loaded them. I can try and reload the ATR bands and an EMA setup for you in the morning if that helps.CPDAggie10 said:
I'm getting an error message when trying to load those. Hence my rookie questions.
On the Monitor tab right click on the instrument and go down to add group, name the group then it will move it into a group you name. For example NET FREE. Then you can sort or filter by that group.PearlJammin said:
Bump,
Is there a way to hide your net free positions within TOS? Starting to get a bunch of them and it's getting difficult to keep track. Thank you!
Mac, just quoting you to flag my question above. Thanks!McInnis 03 said:
The discussion was brought up on the "Stock Markets" thread, thought I'd give it a whirl here......this is my standard chart trading screen. A quick run down....
Far left column:
Watchlist: Each of the XL_ funds so I can track the daily activity of each sector. For day trading, don't fight the traffic, if a sector is green, this is a long opp, if a sector is red, this is a short opp.
Quick Chart: I either keep SPY, /ES, or QQQ open here on a 10min chart, I want to know what macros are doing if I'm in something.
The chart Grid:
4 Boxes, I default to 10min upper left, 30min upper right, hourly lower left, daily lower right.
10Min chart Indicators: EMA clouds, TTM_Reversion, AVG_Vol with a 50period purple line, TTM_Squeeze, and then multi time frame TTM_Squeeze in teh upper left
30Min chart: Nothing, clean, price action only and volume
Hourly chart: Woodies Pivots, EMA's correlated to daily time frames (8 hours * the day time frame I watch, 9, 21, 50, 200)
Daily chart: TTM_Reversion, EMA's 9, 21, 50, 200
Did you see my response right above this one? If your question is related to moving stocks into a net free bucket of sorts.PearlJammin said:Mac, just quoting you to flag my question above. Thanks!McInnis 03 said:

Hmm. The only tabs I have are Activity, Positions, and Watchlist. Can't find a monitor tab.FJ43 said:Did you see my response right above this one?

Try going to positions then right click on one of them and see if it allows you to create a group. My accounts on TOS are also TDA accounts.PearlJammin said:
This is what I see:
My account is through TD, if that helps.
Sorry couldn't help. There is a way though on TOS. I created them via my notes above.PearlJammin said:
No dice. I really appreciate you looking into this. I'll give TD a call to see what's going on.
Awesome. You will like the desktop.PearlJammin said:
I was using the "web" version. There is a desktop version that you have to download. This whole time I've been in the mickey mouse club. Thanks dude.
