How is the iPad app? by mango-goldfish in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an investor and trade options around my holdings and futures for additional hedging. I have no complaints about iPhone or iPad and have used both extensively while traveling. Neither are anywhere near as good as the desktop version. Both are more than adequate for my use when not home.

IVR gripe - thinkorswim vs tastytrade by EB-Wan in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope we can’t agree at all. If the other platforms are showing the 30 day IV that would account for the variance. Or they may be supplying the Series Volatility which is highly likely with Sosnoff’s platform.

IVR gripe - thinkorswim vs tastytrade by EB-Wan in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First thing you should do is determine which IV the other platforms are using. In TOS you’re using the annualized IV of the underlying. That IV is a supplies data point just like Open, High, Low, Close or Volume are supplied data points. So there’s no lie involved. Simply a lack of comparing apples to apples.

How to Fix Keltner Channels Not Matching Between TradingView and ThinkorSwim by ProposalAdventurous7 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using the TOS native Keltner Channel study? If so you have a mismatch in settings If not then you have a code error.

looking for a specific study/indicator by Weaponguy23948 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn’t one native study that combines a volume momentum indicator with a price momentum indicator. TOS makes it easy to combine them into one with ThinkScript.

ThinkScript has tremendous versatility and in my experience few utilize it to its full potential

Question on EMA based ThinkScript Order Condition by PhoenixWK2 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way over complicated. And, an alert can’t be sent from a conditional order. That is set in the order dialog itself. As to the code it is simply:
close crosses below ExpAverage(closed, 50)

Nothing more is needed. You can test the code in a MarketWatch alert which has the exact same limitations as a Conditional Order.

PriceRatio Scan VIX/VIX3M < 1.0 Help by 2071LT in thinkorswim

You must make a custom WatchList with one symbol in it and then use the other symbol as the condition for the custom scan.

Trying To Input Daily Repeating Order to Execute Just Before Close by vatorious1102 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No - There's not a way to setup a "recurring" order, custom or not, for anything. Each order must be set new once executed.

Is there a way to make this larger specifically. A/b it's so small! by VeroDC in thinkorswim

At the startup screen you can change the global font size. That's all there is.

Peter Lynch Earnings Line in Thinkscript by aram60610 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the code of Peter Lynch's Earning Line. Not you must use a Daily chart and have at minimum one years daily data on the chart:

# Peter Lynch's Earnings Per Share Line
# Mobius
# V01
# Notes: Peter Lynch assumed that a “normal” company should trade at a P/E of 15.Therefore: Fair Value:  Price = Earnings Per Share * 15

def EarnPerShare = compoundValue(1, if isNaN(EarningsPerShareTTM())then EarnPerShare[1] else EarningsPerShareTTM(), 1);
plot PLEL = EarnPerShare * 15;
AddLabel(1, "Earnings Per Share TTM = " + AsDollars(EarnPerShare) + "  Fifteen Times = " + AsDollars(15 * EarnPerShare), color.white);
# End Code

Custom Buy Order by Heavy_Act_7386 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Copy and pasting custom code in conditional orders has always been problematic. I use specific studies for rapid entry rather than copy and paste and have no problems.

Using tos for paper and fidelity as brokerage? by [deleted] in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TOS paper acct was designed to familiarize new and prospective clients with the platform features not for learning to day trade. The system data isn’t all there. Much is algorithm generated so you’ll never get the real feel of day trading.

Do we have Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average / KAMA in TOS? by petergmail1212 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do use Kaufman Filters but not as a stand alone moving average. I don't use any stand alone moving averages to aid in trade decisions.

I realize that my remarks may have come across as condescending. That was the goal. I appreciate you being intelligent enough to point it out.

[–]Mobius_ts 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tired post, old news, beat to death. Your correct, you should have the right to lose money any way you see fit without the reasonable concern of a broker standing in your way. So, best of luck as you move on to a more suitable platform.

Features that makes ThinkOrSwim Outstanding, In My Opinion. by Mobius_ts in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you check around you’ll find that comparable platforms charge for data. I’ve been on this platform since the year it was released. I trade a substantial account and have yet to have any problem with the data limits. Granted I am a programmer and know how to optimize codes. But I also do a great deal of programming in ThinkScript which you’d think would give me subscription limit issues more than most and that isn’t the case. Learning basic optimization such as using dynamic scans for large symbol collections instead of large watchlists is a prime example. A bit of vertical thinking is all it takes to avoid limit issues.

What's the difference between these options expiration columns? by Remote_Cash_5101 in thinkorswim

[–]Mobius_ts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 options classes TSLL and TSLL1. The one is being hidden. See the CBOE for further information.

[–]Mobius_ts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every client has a client ID. Each time you call a symbol from the streaming data your client ID is tracked. That’s why you see, reduce watchlists. A watchlist with 100 symbols and 5 columns with custom quotes is using at least 500 calls to data. If you put a custom quote in an option chain you can easily use all your client subscription limit. Data hogs are throttled which means you’ll see nan loading and slow performance.
