  • same as TD Mobile Trader

    I was told thinkorswim would be a better interface than the TD Mobile Trader app, but they are essentially the same. The “positions” tab doesn’t clearly tell you your basis in a position, or its current market price, and doesn’t have a quick trade button to allow you to close that position right there. (At least this is the case for options.) I end up going to the underlying stock quote and looking at its options chain to see the bid/ask for my contract (and I trade it from there if I want to close).
    The “positions” tab does tell you p/L for the day, based on the last trade, but not based on the current bid/ask which is what I really want to know.
    Also for stock quotes, there isn’t a good “fundamentals” snapshot where you can see some basic metrics about the stock like P/E, mcap, FP/E, P/B, short interest, profile, etc like Yahoo Finance or Google Finance would give you. I end up looking up the stock elsewhere then coming back to the app to trade— it’s not remotely capable of research.
    App is secure and functional, however, and I haven’t had any problems with my trading.

  • I love tos but

    Can you please let me edit my background color and my candle colors. These red and green candles are terrible and I hate both the white and black backgrounds. Also please can you add a feature so I can add space to the right of my chart. When I try to take a snapshot I cannot see any of my future plans bc it cuts the screen off. Also when you open up a spread trade it's really clunky to try and close and also i would like to have the option to close multiple orders at the same time. Please. Thankyou and other than these nitpicking little details TOS is an awesome platform and I truly love them.

    Oh another thing. I would love if you guys would add harmonic drawing tools on the desktop and mobile for different patterns, like bat and crab and all those. Please please pleas. Like trading view does.

    Oh and another thing. It would be really awesome if there was a feature that would alert me anytime the price of a stock moved a certain increment. Like say if o trade SPY I can set it to alert me every time the price moves $.50 up or down without me having to physically set the alert. It just does it automatically. This would be really cool.

    Thanks guys and gals and keep up the good work.

  • I use this app a lot!

    I usually don't give app reviews, but I love this app so much, I'm making an exception! I use this app more than the TOS software on my computer. The app enables me to check my positions and make trades anywhere. I check it several times a day...more than I check Facebook. It has become my "go to" for checking the market, looking at my positions, and making trades. I make options trades while waiting in my car, and even while grocery shopping, etc. It is immediate, relevant, and allows me to keep track of my positions on the go. There are a few glitches that I've found (like OTM% on options changing to all zeros every once in a while), but the glitches are so minor compared to how glad I am that this app exists. It works very well as a whole, and I recommend it to anyone.

  • Excellent app

    As a Canadian trading US options. The thinkorswim platform and app is second to none. Excellent!
  • iPhone X Resolution

    The app is great but is not taking full advantage of the width of the screen on an iPhone X. I should see more data in this one than I see on the iPhone 7 Plus but that’s not the case.
  • Horrible update

    I have to re-enter my login info nearly every time (no Touch ID?!), and even worse, quotes are now delayed, and when placing an order, the default limit price is set to 20 minutes ago. Absolutely useless.
  • Amazing.

    Amazing platform. Please build this for Canadian capital markets too.
  • Great iOS port

    This iOS version is a great port of the desktop. I can do and see almost everything that’s in the desktop.

    What’s missing are the icons that show when earnings and dividends are scheduled.

    A wish list of mine is the ability to sync the watchlist with the desktop.
  • Excellent

    Great to check and either change or add a position easily when your on the go.
  • Need canadian stocks

    I love this platform. But we need the same for canadian stocks.
