Best brokerage app I’ve used
Out of all the brokerage apps I’ve tried this one is by far the most in depth, and has nearly everything I could want. You can easily trade stocks, indexes, options, futures, forex, etc.. While the desktop application is a bit more complex and capable, this app is perfect for anything I may need to do on the go.
It was a little hard to get familiar with the layout and UI but after using it for over a year now I can say it is definitely worth getting used to. The app is much more capable than I initially thought, there’s almost nothing you can’t do, with some minor exceptions of course.
I do wish they had a few more features though such as a chart to show your portfolio allocation and value over time, and maybe a better way to analyze a company’s financials in the app. They have a similar portfolio allocation chart on the website but it’s not as detailed as I would like.
Overall it’s a great app that pretty much does everything I need it to. I don’t see myself leaving TD Ameritrade for the foreseeable future. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to invest and have more options than just buying indexes and stocks.Show lessIt's kinda almost alright
Not as feature packed as other mobile platforms
While the desktop app is probably the best & most customizable trading platform.. the mobile app is the complete opposite.. there's an option to turn on expansion even tho expansion isn't supported, some indicators don't distplay or work as they should "because of data limitations" according to a representative. You cannot create scanners or create custom indicators (contrary to other reviews you CAN see custom indicators) volume profile indicators don't work at all... Worst of all there's no analysis section, there's no time & sales, there's no level 2, there's absolutely nothing to aid fundamentals.. there's no equivolume.. the charts themselves aren't as easy on the eyes as other charts.. that being said their chart Drawing tools are the best & most extensive out of other mobile apps, because of their indicator limitations I switched to using drawing tools & my success rate went up so it's kind of a blessing in disguise. 3 STARS ...if you add volume profiles, expansion & fill in the Ichimoku Cloud it would be an easy 5 stars for me personally. Update. I didn't have level 2 turned on & there's some aid to fundamentals just not for penny stocksShow lessTellTaleTorres

We're glad that you are enjoying many of the app's features. It is a challenge to incorporate every feature from the thinkorswim desktop, as there aren't as many technology resources with an app. Our developers are always working to expand the tools and would be glad to consider your wishes. By the way, you should have Level II available on your app. In order for Level II to show, it's needed to subscribe to Level II quotes via our website. (This is done be logging in at www.tdameritrade.com, clicking the Client Services > Subscriptions tabs. No need to worry as Level II is free, but it's still needed to subscribe. ) I'll be glad to pass along your wishes to our developers to expand the tools that are offered. If you think of other suggestions, please pass them along via the Help/ Support > Feedback tabs of the app. We're always glad to hear from you. ^ZJAustralia
please make it available in Australia!Izzy06*
Non Us Users be careful
The app is fine but TD Ameritrade is not to be trusted! They do all kind of irresponsible things with your account, not reporting to the fed that you are a non-us citizen and then you get your money withheld due to taxation reasons.
Stay away from this platform or the us gov will get deep into your pockets even if you’re not earning a penny, just because of TD’s stu#%d mistakes!! Avoid!!!Show lessThe Real View

Ripped off in Canada
Great program. Easy to use, pretty…. Fees in Canada (TD Waterhouse) are embarrassingly high. I’ll stick with Interactive Brokers, thank you.Craig Lindholm
My primary TOS app
I do 100% of my TD Ameritrade trading with this mobile app. I do use the desktop TOS for watching the market while at the house but when I make a move I grab my phone. I’ve never had issue with it, great for trading wherever. Charts are customizable and easy to read. Simple and advanced trades are possible. Options chains are easy to read and customizable. I wish the news feeds were better but that’s not a TOS issue. Calendar for events. And I’m sure much more. I’ve been using it for several years now. It’s complex enough you have to put effort into learning how to use it but works great once you get the hang of it. Well engineered imo. Oh, also you can paper trade to learn or tryout your next genius trading idea. I primarily trade option spreads and wheels with long stock positions. Daily. Wherever I am. Very pleased with it.Show lessMickey2pair
NEEDS SNAP OHLC ON MOBILE
Honestly, this is truly an amazing app and the number of feature is second to none. I love 99% of everything about it. But the one frustrating thing about this app is that one of the most basic features that makes literally every other mobile charting easier is missing. Not sure how this was overlooked as they included it in the desktop application.
You cannot turn on snap drawings in mobile.
That means the lines just slide where you put them, whether or not it aligns with any significant point on the chart. And when it comes to trading, accuracy matters. Even a difference of $0.01 means your order may or may not be executed. What’s the point of the price level if it’s probably not even accurate?? I have to go back in a second time with the poke-and-hold to view the OHLC then validate every line I create is actually accurate by setting the values in the line settings. It’s incredibly tedious
Phones are much smaller screens and that makes navigating lines and such a bit more difficult. Having to eyeball the open or close of a candle, or the body and wick or a candle when they’re close is frustrating.
I love everything else about the app, but come on guys, just this ONE thing: snap drawings are a basic feature on every other reasonably standard mobile trading platform. It’s a weird thing to not have when everything else is so amazingly polished.
Please think about adding it to mobile soon!Show lessCecil&
App frequently closes on me during trades
The app over all is great. It has a lot too offer. But there is one issue that happens frequently enough the that it has caused me to one star. The app repeatedly logs me out staying “the session has ended, please log in to continue” the log in screen comes up and I have to type in my password etc and get logged in. This has cost me money in more than one occasion and it always seems to happen right as I’m about to exit a position that is going against me. I be been luck that the moves weren’t more violent and didn’t go further against me while I was getting logged back in. Very irritating. I’ve also had times where I sent and order and it just did t go anywhere. It was like the order never existed after I hit the send button. So I missed a lot of good entries and exits due to this. But besides those too issues I do really like the app. I do wish the would add a few quick execution button on the same screen as the chart…. So you do t have to toggle over to the order tab and hit “send” are you sure “yes”. That’s a 3 step process and a lot can happen in those 3 steps that can cost u money. I suggest 3 execution buttons buttons be added somewhere on the chart tab that can be customized to what type of orders the execute. Similar to the way you can assign hot keys on the active trader tab of the desktop version.Show less4355578998?,;,?$

Ive got 4 brokers, all with some thing i cant do without, but this app is a must for trading stock. I can get on at 1am and see a streaming chart of qqq which gives me an idea of what the markets doing. If some horrible news comes out at 11pm, i can get on here and buy psq 24hrs a day 5 days a wk. i can enter 17*qqq+250*sh in a quote window and get a real time chart of that combination of stocks and then buy and sell that combo like one thing. I have apps from ibkr, fidelity, schwab, and this that i use and this is in a whole other category by itself. If you were living out of a van and only had wifi at breakfast at mcdonalds, you could tell this app to buy a share of qqq every hour at market and go see the grand canyon. In my opinion, all this stuff is going full on mobile eventually and most of the other apps are kind of made to be used in a pinch. This is all you need ( with the exception of billpay)Show lessChad Monger
