This video was so helpful! It really made me reconsider how I have my screen set up to trade on TOS. I love this channel
That's awesome!!
You have the best trader/day trader channel on RUclips. I watch you morning live videos daily! Thanks for what you do!!!
That's awesome to hear, appreciate the support!
I've been usiing TOS for about 2 years, I learned a couple tips on your video
Awesome, glad I could help!
@@DaytradeWarrior Thanks for the video but I am very basic knowledge with trading, Is there are any class that you provide. Thanks
@@DaytradeWarrior where is the layout? it's not in the description
Damn man, I have to say, you did answer a bunch of questions in the comments. Really impressed, keep up the good work.
I try my hardest to answer as many as I can, sometimes there are too many to keep up with. Thanks Kyle!
I like your Lightspeed layout and organization. It’s easy on the eyes. Good job Ross. Love how you teach everything about trading including platform set ups. Now i know i can come here for technical help if ever. ;)
Thanks Belle, Don't forget to head over to the Warrior Trading website for more help: www.warriortrading.com/
Ross, thank you for this video. Over the weekend I probably spent close to 10 hours diving into this software and your video played just about the whole time. It was a struggle at first then I started understanding the architecture of the platform. Just finished trading this morning for an 849 dollar realized trading day! It worked fantastic! Thank you so much for the video.
You're welcome!
Just started watching you for 1 week now. Respect to you! You Rock!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
I didn't use your exact setup, but took away a few really good tips from this video. Thank you!
Ross you’re really nice for helping us. You respond quickly to our questions. You don’t have to do that for us, but you obviously want us to be successful. You aren’t selfish. We appreciate that.
I appreciate all the support Christoph and I love what I do!
@@DaytradeWarrior yea Ross thanks I am happy I found you and your teaching skills. I got inspired from some other guru's but never signed up with them because they didn't have a education method that I thought would work for me. Now I love the level too and Technical analysis. Thanks buddy 👍
Hey Ross, I truly appreciate your dedication and teaching spirit. I’m still on my journey to becoming a full time trader, but wanted to drop you a line of thanks for your willingness to help others. Peace and keep it real!
Thank you Jonathan, appreciate the kind words!
Meanwhile i'm still trying to figure out how to sell an order after placing a buy order with a stop loss...sigh
Biggest help for me from video:
1. Taught me not to be nervous while checking out all of the settings.
2. Great explanation on buy/sell mkt; buy/join ask, and flatten. That was a BIG help. I set up my buttons just like you demonstrated.
I go live trading Monday. I think I have it set up the way I want it. Of course, I will only be trading one stock at a time. Thanks for sharing your experience.
right on, glad to hear that! You should register to my next class here: warriortrading.com/free-day-trading-class/
Thank you for doing this. I have been following your channel and going through your free Beginners Classes and switched from Robinhood to TD, looked up Trade-Ideas etc. My goal is to make enough money to join your group and the bridge from my position now to that goal is everything you do here. Thank you again!
I watch your morning watch lists and have started to trade a little now, have tested the waters, :), and I made $113 on my $500 account today! Big thankyou for your morning watchlists. If I could afford it I had signed up for your pro course, but I really do not have that amount of money, :) but maybe in the future, :) Keep up your really good work!
Love to hear it Jorgen, keep it up!
@@DaytradeWarrior How can I get added to your morning watch list? Thanks
I freaking love this guy, you my friend are one of a kind.
🚸
Thanks for watching!
It is very kind of you to take the time to make these videos. Thank you.
Of course, happy to share!
This vid was SO helpful, it's great for any beginner like me, and sure can help anyone that's into day trading.
Thanks Walle!
Thank you Ross for how to set up trading tab. I am brand new and I was wondering how to find and work the configuration buttons. Exactly what I was looking for.
Right on!
Have to say that your template for TD is awesome. I definitely will follow and get more ideas from you
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey Ross, I've been in the business for almost a decade now and want to say thank you. This video was really helpful for me. I got some cool tips to make my day trading faster.
Keep up the great work.
RT.
Hey Rob! Right on! Happy to help!
Something that I found helpful was using the quick chart that way I could have a smaller window on the left and still have a larger view of my daily chart. By doing that, the active trader can be larger as well so that you can have more of a range to put the price you want in. TOS has hot keys that can be set up. Thanks for posting this video. I am newer to trading and have found your videos very helpful.
That's a great way to set it up as well! Glad the videos have helped!
Great to know that TOS has hotkeys! That's huge.
Thanks Men, that was really helpful!!
Right on!
Ross, great info. I always learn something watching your videos. Just wanted to share this bit - you can add a "position indicator" to the active trader upper area by clicking on "customize". then add it next to your quantity or auto send buttons or wherever you would like it placed. also on the ladder area click customize and add P/L open and it will track your current position profit and loss for the stock you are trading in both the positive and negative amount. I've found it very helpful.
You might already know this but just thought i would put it out there. Keep up the great work, we all really appreciate your help!
Ah good to know, thanks for the tip. Glad you enjoy the videos!
I just learned a months worth of information in 28minutes. Great video, it was to the point with good reference. I will be watching out for others.
Thanks David!
Thank you Ross. Love this clip. Very helpful.
You're welcome!
Awesome! Thanks so much for showing me how to input and modify the EMA.. I for some reason could never find that exact 200 EMA that everyone is always talking about.. But there it is.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for this video Ross! As a beginner trader I'm choosing to keep my expenses at a minimum and only paying for education right now. TOS seems like a great entry level platform to learn on while not spending any money, so I really appreciate you dedicating time to it. I think focusing on one or two trades with quality entry and exit is where I am right now so I really related when you made that point. Thanks again and feel free to help out with more TOS!
It's my pleasure Donnie!
@@DaytradeWarrior where is the current TD setup link ??
Thanks, man. This is very helpful. Will look at your other vids right now. :)
Glad it was helpful!
You're such a gem! Eternal blessings to you and yours!
Thank you!
I have been watching a ton of your videos over the past 2 weeks and you are greatly helpful! Im sitting here on a Sunday practicing using the thinkorswim simulator and it is weird watching the charts and everything without your voice in the background. Going to need to make a trading playlist eventually
you have to activate the tracking price tracking, it’s a upper right corner where you can manipulate the view and make it as detail or as broad as you want to.
I have not, thanks for sharing though!
I just started with tos. Some really good info in your video. Thanks.
Happy to help!
Im new and learning off you thankful 🙏 that you share your skills. Thank You
right on! Thanks Michael for your comment!
Hi! Thank you so much for your free education! This is the first video of yours that I have watched, but now I am eager to watch more. Much appreciated! I did attempt to download your Think or Swim settings, but it didn't come out looking right. For example, there was only 1 trade window instead of 4. Any updates available? Thanks!!!!!
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed! If you are having trouble loading the layout reach out to TD's support team they'll be able to help you with that!
btw, its an awesome feeling for a newbie trader to have a pro engage with him, no matter how stupid a question it is, keep it up !! thanks
We all started somewhere! Appreciate the support!
Ross. I have mine setup with two windows, first with watch list and chart, second with T and S, active trader, squeezed as much as I can. This will show amount of shares, PL, etc. can detach any window setup. Another monitor and you can have a stock selected ready to just click and go.... I got mine setup with shift and buttons,usually as fast as you can punch a button you are in, if shares available at your request.... never tried join the ask, will give that a try, Thanks Ross, be ready with CMEG come Monday, hope you can continue with that also, what a trip that was... watched a ton of your vids, learning a lot about your thinking, helps so much, Thanks
Nice Darryl, thanks for sharing!
I really appreciate you showing your set up, it's a huge help
You're welcome Matt!
Ross, were you able to find a scanning tool to see relative volume or float in TOS?
Do you have any recommendations the following:
1. How can I create my hot keys scripts for certain types of triggers (I.e trailing stops based on some %) which I can use when I place an option or stock order.
2. How can I create default order template on TOS
Sorry Nishad, we aren't able to offer support with creating hotkeys or order templates. However, the ToS support team should be able to help you get all of your questions answered!
Great walk through. Picked up some tips
Thanks!
As always good stuff, Ross!
Thank you!
I love you man! Seriously, I keep becoming more and more profitable with everyday I study (now over 3k since March 18th.) I did register for the webinar but didn't receive a link to your book. Will I be getting info on that during the lesson?
Awesome, email into us about the ebook and we'll help you with that! team@warriortrading.com
Hey just want a update! are you still profitting?

Hey buddy how goes the weekend?! Hey I just wanted to say this is going to be my first week being able to short sell. I started with 150 bux in june. Ive had ups and downs and my acct at its lowest was 37$. But I told.myself I would not wash out. Ive been non stop studying and training and learning and I spend avg 15+ hours a day involved in trading related stuff. Well last week I passed my 2500 goal. I have 2560.82. I wanted 500 over short sell threshold to give an initial buffer so I don't fall below that if there are a few losses. I'm excited.
Hey Adam! Righit on! Very cool!
Ross, from the active trader window, you could have just clicked on what you wanted to pay and a limit order would have been put in at that price for the amount of shares already in the share dialog box. And Flatten is a great box to use. Also, the volume histograms allow you to visually see where most of the buying was taking place, or use VWAP as you do.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this layout. Its perfect for active day traders in the stock market.
Glad you like it!
@@DaytradeWarrior Where is layout link?
Great content. You answered quite a bit👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for watching!
Hey Ross, I would love to see a video of you building a watchlist in TOS with the same parameters that you have on your momo scanner.
I haven't used their scanners personally, but maybe in the future that's something I can look into.
@@DaytradeWarrior They are pretty powerful scanners, the most knowledgeable experts for that is Don Kaufman, and Pete Hahn. And as far as order entry the number of shares you want just type it in the qty box.. You can click on charts or the active trader ladder and boom its gone.. if autosend is selected of course.. The TRG function is also very helpful.. for those with defined risk reward.. especially the stop function.. Once the brackets are there you can slide them up or down to adjust price as needed.. THE only thing they need is the hotkey flexibility such as Sterling..
Hahaha "Magenta that will catch my eye.....there we go" such a "Bob" Ross moment :)
lol that's right!
Fantastic Video! Taught me how to navigate through the platform and was very easy to understand!
You're welcome!
Thank you, I found this video pretty helpful.
You're welcome Freddy!
@@DaytradeWarrior in IT DUDE YOU Uhu7u7i hmm

Ross, just learned yesterday that tradestation is a good alternative to TOS and possibly does not have issues with fills in first minutes. Can you possibly do a review of tradestation?
You can see the review on TradeStation here: www.warriortrading.com/tradestation-broker-review/
The link to your layouts is broken. Couldn't find it on your website.
Thanks, Ross. I've just found you and now binge watching your videos more that all Netflix or AMZN prime vids combined. Ha! Learning a lot.
Same as you just found ross, willl you join his course in the future?
@@FFFF-td2hl still have a lotta vids to go before joining the course. 👌🏼
😂👍 I'm happy to hear that!
Thank you for your vids and time that you do not have to do and show us tips of the trade Its, Its helped sooo much, your the man
You're welcome Ricky!
Been spending several weeks studying and learning trading. Day one official day trading. Down $6.34 not bad, but not good.

@DaytradeWarrior thanks for all of this hard work Ross. I am going to get myself as much up to speed as I can. I will get the pro course before I go live. However for now I am going to practice in Thinkorswim on demand. I see you within the year. At the end of 2024, I will be a warrior pro but for now. Just doing what I can with what I got.
I might be blind, but I'm not seeing a link for your thinkorswim layout
Yes WHERE IS THE LINK??
Ditto from a TDA trading newbie
I'm not seeing it either.... Have we been played?
WTF NO layout is right. We are just going to have to sign up and pay for that info!
If he says "you'll find a link below",, that's a guarantee that there is no link below.
Thanks for your time... it was very useful
You're welcome!
this helped out alot ,i just wanted to get a feel on practicing as i watch your videos. looking foward to using the same broker you use. saving up money to join class. 2 years later and this video still helped someone . wow . thanks ross !
You're welcome!
To remove blue volume overlay: Settings/equities, uncheck volume subgraph.
Thanks!
Unfortunately TOS re-overlays it if it believes there's not enough space to show it separately. Would be nice to specify option to auto-hide it instead.
Hey, I am having trouble finding the URL for the layout.
You can find it here: tos.mx/qnavoUa
when i used the link it didnt setup properly
Love to see your TOS scanners . . . thank you.
no scanners yet, but maybe soon!
Yes please Ross. Trade ideas is way too expensive for someone with a 500 dollar budget
I opened today my paper money acount and I find your videao very usefull, Nice Job!!
right on!
damn this looks like a lot of work! can't i start a gofundme instead? "lazy man doesn't want to work"
lol
Downloading your LAYOUTS only happens when dancing through joining webinars and so on....
Thank you for the video.
You're welcome!
Hey Ross, thank you for all of your content! As a new trader, and coming across your channel over the weekend, I know your content has already saved future ME's ass in some way, shape, or form. Lol
It's my pleasure!
no layouts to download when i clicked on the link
Teddy, it's a layout link that you copy then you load that into your TOS platform.
@@DaytradeWarrior i tried both ways by clicking the link, takes me to your website or copying and pasting into think or swim which gives error
Who else is wondering how many trades he actually made by forgetting to cancel all those orders he made in the examples? :-)
Lol I cancel them after the fact!
Appreciate the video. I am a warrior pro student i use Think or Swim for now until i get to 25,000 then ill switch to Lightspeed. Love this warrior pro course awesome course.
Right on!!! Cheers Ron!
very helpful, thanks
Thanks for watching!

In ToS, to get rid of that volume overlay, please go to Charts -> Style -> Settings -> Equities -> uncheck "Show Volume Sub-Graph" THANKS for the great video !!!
Thanks for sharing!
Very thankful for ross. He gave me the confidence to begin trading.I now trade for a living and thoughI have rough days i feel like a man that been released from prison. I trade a bit different then ross but he laid the foundation I built upon .
Cheers thank you Mike!!
A monster thumbs up from me. Thank you!
You're welcome Adam!
@Ross Hey man really enjoy the channel! Learning a lot about day trading. Just an FYI, TOS does allow for hotkeys for buying and selling. Albeit they are limited. Would love to know if you've used IB any?
I’ve been trading on TOS for almost a year and have found ways to get around the lack of hot keys and inability to partial out easily without typing in a share size. I have buttons setup with specific share sizes already specified for the different stop sizes I want. It makes it way faster. It only shows the best bid and ask on level 2 from the exchanges, but for further depth you need to look somewhere else. They do offer full depth of NASDQ and BATS, but that’s only a portion of the market you are seeing in full depth.
Hey! Good call, thank you!
I’d like to see how you do this. I’ve been on TOS and it would great if I can scale out like they do on DAS and LS. Every time I talk to someone at TDA I advocate for this feature but doubt we’ll get it anytime soon. I also bug them for marketable limit orders.
would you mind sharing how you setup the the buttons for share size ?
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to educate me ....us...all of us lol with all this helpful information .
If I could ask for one more helpful tip for us beginners... when you go through the steps, click this and this and then that, could you slow it down a bit. You talk like you trade...VERY fast! 😆 lol
I'm tapping back 10 seconds to death😆.
Thank you again, I appreciate the knowledge you give. I'm learning so much🙂
yeah i had a TD account already so ima learn the Thinkorswim platform thanks for the advice. im trying play money now so hopefully this does me well
👍
That was an amazing tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi very helpful video ! Just started watch your videos !
Thanks for watching!
@any email for contacting you ?
I like your videos bro. Do you do an “ analyze my trade” forum?
I haven't done that!
Thanks for the help! I do know there are some faster ways on the charts for order entry
You're welcome Peter!
Hey Ross, fantastic video! I appreciate your content very much. Question: would you consider making a video about how to use TD scanner to build similar scans that you use with the trade ideas pro?
Hey Paul, we have our own custom scanners built in the Warrior Trading platform so it wouldn't make much sense to put in the work in TOS. Maybe in the future!
Setup > Application Settings > General tab > Orders group > Autosend with Shift-click. I like this better than the checkbox because I do not like to leave it on so that I do not accidentally click red or green buttons and have to turn it on and off when trading. Also, use Charts > Flexible Grid. A “grid” contains the active trader and the level II in the side bar (toolbar on the right of the chart area). Buttons can be shown on the Trade tab and removed from the active trader tab.
👍🤓
Sounds great for a learner focusing on base hits only.
It certainly could be a good platform for someone starting out!
loved this content
Thank you Vegito!
Warrior Trading welcome and thank you, I subscribed to your channel as well 🙂
This!!! Thisss!!! Everything! ty
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much.
You bet!
In Think or swim you can buy and sell straight from level 2. Just learned this last week
The filled and working orders can be in the same window. The bottom tab on the left with the arrow brings it up on the bottom of the screen. If you click the pin icon on the right of that pop up it will stay open at all times
That's helpful, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Ross, how can we know if there are shares available to borrow on this platform? Like on LS on there L2 there is is green "E" symbol which indicates the availability
