Whoever is responsible for retiring EDGE for TOS owes to be fired. That unintelligent move is incomprehensible to me!
I'm with you, have watched many videos on TOS, has way to much for me SSE is perfect for my Dividend investing.
Agree TOS is junk , I can see a lot of people moving away from schwab because of this.
@@JohnMcComb-mx9im tos is so complicated, I loved sse to just rtade straightforward stocks . now I have to get a fing degree for TOS more like POS
After 40 or so years as a very satisfied Schwab client, i am seriously thinking about taking my business elsewhere. By forcing a tool on us that is not any superior and not as easy to use than SSE, it seems like they don't care for their clients anymore.
its tottal junk, im a daytrader and this can not be used for fast trading too many buttons to use.
After 33 years as a very satisfied Schwab client, I am headed our the door if this platform is our only option!!
Hey user-ls. Change can be difficult and we know that. We have created several webcast to help you quickly get up to speed on thinkorswim. On Thursdays at 5 ET is a StreetSmartEdge to thinkorswim webcast. We also have Getting Started With thinkorswim (Beginners) on Mondays @ 3 ET and Exploring thinkorswim (Intermediate level) Tuesdays at 3 ET. Although the video you watch is a good start, there are many more helps to get you comfortable, including mock trading in the paperMoney side of thinkorswim. All of these are for the downloaded software of thinkorswim. There is also thinkorswim web and mobile for other platforms. Here's a link to our calendar of training including what I highlighted above: www.schwab.com/schwab-coaching ^CH
agreed, I'm so used to StreetSmartEdge. Don't know why they can't keep both platforms. Also forced us the long-time clients to learn a new one.
It's a great platform.
What don't you like about it?
Think or Swim is AWESOME
cant tell you how much i hate think or swim compared to the old Schwab desktop
Platform for options and future traders, nothing for stock traders. Terrible, shall go back to Merrill
Schwab had the best trading platform SSE and now they have nothing, wish they keep SSE
Late comment, but this is so cool... it will take my short term trading to a new level. Many thanks
great tutorial video!
This TOS is way to much for me and my style of investing, SSE has been perfect, simple and easy. I'm an older gent and am now looking for someplace else to put my money that has a platform like SSE. Would appreciate any info/leads from those like me. Thanks. P.S., I have looked at the videos, maybe 5 or more, none are geared for an investor like me, and the frustration - not to mention Schwab is not ready, many links don't work, tried to get the Guest Pass, that site doesn't work, tried the load the TOS layout option in SSE, locked up my computer.... I have a bad feeling.
Hello, thank you for reaching out! We can provide general information and navigational assistance. For specific account questions, please initiate a secure chat through Schwab.com or call 800-435-4000, available 24/7! ^CH
Sucks for buy and hold.
Change is tough, I rarely recommend it and I don't consider myself 'older.' I had a highly customized Edge and could blow through and get ALL info in a few click of custom tabs I created, now I gotta squint, poke around and hope. I'm in the middle, but I see the ultimate benefits. My suggestion would be to start small, and maybe hide or remove extra noise and slowly build up - like learning to trade all over. I've gone through Telebroker! Phone, web, Edge, smart phones so now ToS. It seems like a Swiss Army Knife with too much for everyone, but the true pocket knife guy could just remove the corkscrew and other superfluous tools and use what's best for his style/focus. But I do sympathize with support having to deal with a ton of Edge fans being told to change. We're talking about people's money and how to manage/generate. I do like the extra help and support that Schwab is offering! Ironically, I (like many) had Schwab and Ameritrade at same time, and I've tried adopting ToS for years and just never saw it. So, I left that account with ETFs and funds and did very little with it except maybe some web based trades, and just used Edge at Schwab. THE ONLY RECOMMENDATION I'D HAVE for Schwab is to allow both simultaneously - like an 'IT Staging.' The you could try ToS but when you're stuck, jump into Edge to do it, instead they are forcing a hard switch, which is going to put the brakes on a LOT of trades for a bit.
SSE looks way simpler than this tab of files.
lol SSE looks horrible
Endlich!! Finally!! thank you very much dear Charles. The introduction on the platform was very helpfull! I just subscribed your chanel.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank TDAmeritrade, the inherited this when the merged. This is not a Schwab product.
And this is terrible@@David-fv7zg
Very good video, detailed. appreciated
CNBC is now gone. You can't even see at the top how the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 is doing for the day. It was always so nice to see the dividends on the main chart. The layout of the Option chain is less friendly. This creates a lot more work each day. It seems awful.
It's almost as if the people at Charles Schwab who made this decision to replease Street Smart Edge with this crap have no artistry or appreciation for simple layouts that SSE presented. It's almost as if they want to make it harder for the average person to make money by complicating things with a horrendous platform like thinkorswim
This mistake will be taught in business school one day. Schwab (Coca Cola) bought TD (Pepsi) and forced us to drink the inferior Pepsi recipe under the Coca Cola label. Yes, I am bitter.
We are sorry you are not happy about the change. We understand change is difficult and people don't want to learn something new when the old item was working well for them. Please give thinkorswim a chance, it is an award winning platform that is very robust and if you give it a chance you might find some of the tools it offers very valuable. Again, thank you for your feedback. ^BC
TOS is awesome but why do u have to take away our precious Street Smart Edge
The level 2 and time and sales on TOS is nothing special compared to SSE
Why did not they ask opinion of Schwab clints what they prefer.
For myself SSE platform was reason why i switched to Schwab from Merrill
may be time to go back
@@danielsharkoff4013 I was told that it wasn't just supporting the Edge platform, but they actually had charges, like data feed; seems like negotiating that would have been less risky than alienating customers. I'm not going anywhere, but I'll admit as soon as I caught wind of ultimate change, I figured to look around and downloaded two other platforms since 'I gotta learn all over anyway' - and that is the business school case study - like small businesses run by a sole expert or personality gets sold to someone who thinks they'll just continue it, but customer flee because 'they gotta change anyway, may as well look around.' My 'precious Edge' became that way after over 20 years of tweaking and customizing but I did see it's limitations. ToS isn't as perty, but it seems to have much more of those things I kept seeking.
I LEFT TD Ameriturd years ago to get away from TOS. Its a massive pile of code that has been setup to do everything but be user friendly. This does this here but not there. To many modules setup by to many code writers with no common rules for operation. SSE worked for years for me. First day I tried the new TOS it went down and Tech support didn't have clue..
Great to see how to use TOS in 2012
Por suerte puedo traducirlo a español, explican muy muy bien GRACIAS!
consulta, usas alguna herramienta para la traducción?
@@sandraalvez7188 No, simplemente la que brinda youtube, hay que leer la transcripcion.
Si tienes más preguntas nos puedes contactar aqui international.schwab.com/contact-us. Gracias por ser parte de Charles Schwab. ^CH
This wasn't a problem until I was transfered from TD to Schwab: I am surprised that TOS allows broken features to be available especially since this deals with money of their customers. I am referring to the double sell orders trap and now with the "MARK" function. I've read that they've known about the MARK issue for some time and they haven't taken that feature out of production. This gives customers the perception that TOS is prone to be "buggy"🙄
I've had the same problem with the "mark" triggering a rogue TRSTP for a few of my orders. Also double sales because the OCO going off the "mark" price triggers both simultaneously. When I called in, the broker I spoke to said he has been aware of the bug since he started working there YEARS ago. I hope Schwab will take the need to rectify this issue seriously. IBKR is looking better each day because of these unaddressed bugs.
On some things can you explain think or swim language or vocabulary and features as you go. Thanks!
Hello I miss pre market net change data in TOS watchlists net change column . EDGE has this data in net change column in watchlists but TOS doesen't,
thank you for looking into this.
I was thinking the same.. is there a way to see pre market prices in the watchlists?
I want TD back!
ThinkorSwim 2024!!! I Hope I don't Drown =)
This platform blows, what’s up with the flashing tickers how is that in any way helpful?? When Sse is done so will I
Thank you for your comment and we are sorry to hear about your concerns with TOS, but understand change isn't easy, especially with trading platforms that can take time to get to know. We are doing what we can to ease he transition and hope you give us another try. After watching the StreetSmart Edge to thinkorswim video you might find a live presentation appealing where you can ask and get responses to your questions, real time in one of our webcasts. We host a StreetSmart Edge to TOS webcast every Thursday at 5:00 pm ET. Here is a link to the webcast calendar where you can find that class and more. www.schwab.com/schwab-coaching
We also record these sessions and post them on our Trader Talk channel. Check out some of our past sessions where others like you have joined in and asked questions to help them through the transition. ^BC

The ending of Street Smart Edge and subsequent roll out of this horrendous Thinkorswim is being force fed down customer's throats via Charles Schwab. How could such an institution that has thus far served as great platform for everyday traders have no creative decision makers on their board? Is anyone aware of the artistry and simplicity of Street Smart Edge for stock traders (and likely other types of traders as well)? Was anyone made aware of how user friendly SSE is in comparison to this unnecessarily tedious platform Thinkorswim? This is a major mistake and great diservice to loyal Charles Schwab clients. @@CharlesSchwab
Hi Cameron, thanks for the videos. You're great to watch. My question... How can you make an VWAP text alert to notify if the VWAP crosses above and below the price line? I have been struggling with this for a while now.
Hi, this type of alert is not a default feature of the platfrom, but may be able to be built using a thinkscript. We have a thinkscript class that is taught on Fridays at 3:00pm. ^MF
Great vid, but WOW, I guess you guys had to wait 6 months to release this golden nugget.
Great platform especially for options. 8:54 into video you was kind of hairy. I figured it out though. All in all he explains everything very clear and straight forward.
One of the chart items I liked in SSE was that it showed the cost per share as a green line so it was easy to see where the break even point was. Is that available in TOS, and how do you set it?
Here's a great webcast from Schwab Coaching that discusses the tools on the Analyze Tab: ruclips.net/user/livezEyQT8tS4-c?si=su6qib4PfdZQXUMF ^BW
SSE is way better than TOS.
I hope that we will be able to open a trading account and be able to use this wonderful platform.. We do not know why some countries in the world are prevented from registering with Ameritrade, such as countries in the Middle East.
Hello and thank you for reaching out. While we can only offer limited support through social media, our specialists are happy to assist. To discuss your concern with a broker, please call 800-435-4000 or initiate a secure chat session on Schwab.com, available 24/7!
Is there a tutorial video for thinkorswim on the mac?
ITS ALMOST IDENTICAL
P.S. What I keep calling the LADDER is actually called ACTIVE TRADER on TOS.
Thank god for street smart edge. I don't like this.
ummmm...that's the concern
This dose not look user friendly compared to how straight forward SSE works.
It does have a lot of bells and whistles but really it isn't too bad once you have a bit more exposure. Check into it a bit more. ^BC
I'd wager to say the bells and whistles are intentional. SSE was not broken yet some folks at your instituion who perhaps lacked imagination to see the beauty of that platform decided more bells and whistles would fix things, ushering in thinkorswim. @@CharlesSchwab
Give the web app or mobile app a try. They’re a bit more streamlined than the desktop app. The desktop app is designed to be extremely deep for a free trading platform
Strangely, my new account does not have the top tabs ie Monitor , Trade...... I wonder why.
Mine does not either but I know why mine doesn't. I am on the web version and he is on the downloaded version. The web version is simpler but I will probably go with the downloaded one because there are some settings that I want but on the web version I do not have.
why cant they make this like tradingview, so much headach. like so old school
No Schwab clients opinion taken in account, SSE is hundred times better.
A suggestion please! Could the light background be used when doing these tutorials? It is so dark and for some of us, perhaps, unable to follow without starting and stopping and trying to find the way in the dark! Thank you!
Hello Mr. Cameron May: Thank you for this video introducing me to the thinkorswim desktop application. I followed along as you were demonstrating. I was doing *paper trading* not *live trading* as you were doing.
I noted in the Monitor section that all my orders were in the *working orders* section and *none* were in the *filled orders* section.
At 15:50 to the end, under the *position statement* section, I saw that the *quantity* for both the stock and call option was zero. When I right clicked the stock, I did not see *create closing order* or the analyze closing trade option. I saw the other items like reset all positions , adjust position..., etc.
What do I do to *see the quantity ordered* and on right clicking, I see *create closing order* or the *analyze closing trade* in addition to the other items in the right click list?
Thanks
Suresh
Based on what you have said I would guess that you had an order that had not yet been filled and it would have been sitting in working orders, but not filled. thinkorswim will create a space for the order even though it's not yet filled. The quantity will show as zero as well as the P/L columns. Because the order isn't filled, you won't see an option to close in the list of the right click items. I hope this helps. ^CH
Hello Cameron (@@CharlesSchwab) - thanks for getting back to me - I appreciate it!
Do orders get filled on the *paper trading* platform too? If they do, how long do I need to wait to see them filled? If they don't, then I cannot follow you in all that you do.
Also are there things I can do in the *live platform* that I cannot on the *paper trading* platform?
Thanks
Suresh
Hello I am new to this platform and I do like what i see ,, but my question is where do I find how much I made or loss on a option on this platform , I like to be able to look in my history and find out Thanks
On the Account Statement on the Monitor tab you can look up any transaction either by date, ticker symbol or both. Change the default days to more than one to go back in time. ^CH
Is there a tutorial on how to place intraday stock trades in thinkorswim ??
Not specifically, but here's one that might be helpful: ruclips.net/user/livegb3CNG8zIPg?si=h4GuvTtzsdWKqUqe ^BW
how do I actually access the thinkorswim website? what is the url?

Can I use kwd to trade instead of the dollar
KWD is not showing as a valid symbol on U.S. stock exchanges, but it could be accessible through Schwab with an international investment account. ^MF
@@CharlesSchwab no not as a symbol but rather a currency I invest with, like on meta trader you choose which currency you want the account to be in example I'm South African so I'll choose the rand but I'll be using the kwd if I reside in Kuwaiti
Let's say I'm entering an order to buy a thinly traded stock, BEFORE I hit confirm, and the bid-ask has not changed for the past 20 minutes. Suddenly in the midst of my entering the order (again, BEFORE I confirm) the bid price increases. This has happened to me on SSE over and over and over again. The obvious implication is that someone is front-running my trade before I even place it. It's happened far too many times to be a coincidence. Question: can I expect this same action to happen on Think Or Swim?
Thank you for your question. Thinly traded stocks can frequently experience erratic movement so there is no telling when one will move or what is causing the change. To discuss your concern with a broker, please call 800-435-4000 or initiate a secure chat session on Schwab.com, available 24/7! ^BC
Can I use this platform as a South African and use the same broker
Yes, it is possible to fund an international account and gain access to the platform. The Global Services Group can help you, here is their number: 415-667-8400. ^MF
Thank you
I have problem in my thinkorswim account my tutor Frez USD I can't wedrah the money. Can someone help me 3:44 😢
Thank you for getting in touch. I understand your concern. While we can only offer limited support through social media, our specialists are happy to work with you to review the account further. For direct support with reviewing your account, please call 800-435-4000 or initiate a secure chat session on Schwab.com. ^CH
please , how can i rollover the option trading ?
Can you provide a little bit more information? Thanks, ^MF
Ooof looks horrendous
Exactly. Almost by design. I hope another instituion adopts SSE so I can move there
i have no tabs ????
Can I change background color from black?
Yes, you can. Here's our webcast series on Getting Started with thinkorswim. ruclips.net/p/PL8a6s5nq1lPTMHmq7rNVIQE9mqyhsxD5I&si=8KJ2X0URj_O7oB-Q ^BW
Is this platform available in Canada?
You can download the platform anywhere in the world, but if you are specifically a Canadian citizen, the account will have to be an IRA, otherwise you would not be able to do so. ^MF
The platform is an upgrade from SSE, too bad that Schwab are way too lazy or they just don't care about the thousands of customers asking to improve the Hot Keys
Any chance for paper account? Without real account?
Thank you for reaching out! I am happy to direct you to our service teams for assistance. You can reach a specialist directly by phone using 800-435-4000.
Yes, at the login screen.
Big news! SSE is too old and diffcult to use for me.
Sse has way better level 2 and time and sales.. not on the same level at all
If you can learn this you qualify for flying a jumbo jet if the pilot is incapacitated. Instead of TOS they should rename it DFB ---- Doomsday For Boomers.
Hey opentrunk. We understand there is a lot to learning the thinkorswim platform. The desktop version is the most robust and some might opt for thinkorswim web which has an easier interface. You can find it at: trade.thinkorswim.com/. Also we have weekly classes for the desktop version called Getting Started With thinkorswim. It is taught on Mondays at 3 pm ET. Here is a playlist of the previous classes: tinyurl.com/3eax2ftf ^CH
Such a massive disappointment. I hate that Schwab has forced this on us ffs.
I'm depressed they bought my TD ameritrade :( It's a loss on both sides
I’m disappointed they’re getting rid of streetsmart edge
@@Icy1256why ?
Forced what on you? You don’t have to use this if you don’t want to?
ThinkorSwim is garbage. Bring back StreetSmart Edge, simple trade tickets and charts.
Thank you. ^CH
Day 1: It's already broken !!! My friend can log into their account, but....she has to reconfigure everything, every time. That takes a long time. What a f'n joke.
