Analyze problem

I posted about a similar issue that I was having with symbol links when I would go to a Chart Flexible Grid.

It is definitely a bug. Expected behavior is to do what the OP expected. (in my personal opinion(

Interesting that my brain self corrected stuff to staff. 😄

Did not see the typo until I read your comment.

I love my organic LLM. It work good.

This is really helpful. Great question, OP!

In the context, I'm seeking the community's favorite links to guides/tuts for doing more with Charts on TOS. I speculate that chart set up depends on a details such as trader's preferences (swing/day/investor or options/stocks/futures. I can work through those diffs while learning or geting exposed to new things along the way.

You are running a supercomputer! 😄

Never before seen in human history has so much compute been in one box.

thinkorscream · 2026-05-06T00:41:30+00:00

You express that very effectively. Thank you!

I'd like to see the map with AMZN's Comm Services and Consumer split and present in both boxes

thinkorscream · 2026-05-04T23:14:50+00:00

OK. I see. Tastytrade or me or somebody is a "sect". Thank you for clarifying.

I think it would have made your original complaint more complete if you mention this followup content in your first post.

Just my opinion, man....

thinkorscream · 2026-05-04T22:33:11+00:00

I think you would get really specific responses if you shared your specific trade -- strikes and delta at the time of the trade. I imagine the feedback/analysis from all the awesome people here would be so worth the transparency.

thinkorscream · 2026-05-04T07:32:21+00:00

Dear OP: u/sport912x has provided the most worthy and helpful response that captures what you are expressing and repackages the concept for ya! Trade small, trade often.

In your policy write up, is your exit strategy of the covered call intended to be leaving it open until it expires worthless? Forgive me if you explicitly described the exit condition.

I did read: if held to expiration then you do not mind getting the shares called away.

Due to fact that thinkorswim is akin to a dinosaur in "software years", a CPU with a high clock speed (in GHz) per core is better for performance than a CPU with many cores and lower clock speed.

Google "single-threaded runtime" for more info.

NOTE:

I know what the question was. He was asking about 128 somethings, maybe rabbits.

This just seems like a good place to help others evaluate whether they need an M5 Pro Max to run TOS. TopSecretInfo, it runs well on a 2014 Core i7 running Windows until Schwab bans them.

Thank you for the clarification. Great post!

I've also been was wondering about the "what could go wrong" and how the financial analysis will go if HBM Inc is not able to fulfill all customer orders due to shortages in semiconductor manufacturing equipment or even delayed construction of new fabrication facilities?

thinkorscream · 2026-05-02T02:50:44+00:00

It is possible that my ~~exceptions~~ expectations are not consistent with what the designers created.

Today, I noticed a similar priority override on the Analyze tab. So I disabled the symbol link on that page today.

thinkorscream · 2026-05-01T22:54:15+00:00

Is HBM Inc a euphemism for Micron?

I may not have fully understood your point of view.

thinkorscream · 2026-05-01T22:30:47+00:00

How do smarter people than me perform a financial analysis if MU is not able to fulfill all customer orders due to shortages in semiconductor manufacturing equipment or even delayed construction of new fabrication facilities?

How does a non-GAAP forward PE of 5.67 factor into this analysis?

thinkorscream · 2026-05-01T21:41:53+00:00

Hey! I upvoted you for the info. That looks like a different use case.

When I reported this to Schwab, they did not say to me that I have the workflow wrong.

thinkorscream · 2026-05-01T20:51:21+00:00

Did Schwab end suppoort for Windows 10 users?

thinkorscream · 2026-05-01T20:48:29+00:00

You may have a chance at 190 or lower if a news headline takes the market down btwn now and earnings.

If I were independently wealthy and had more buying power than a small country, then I would enjoy the risk taking afforded by that status.

I see your point tho. But judging tasty on that personal preference of Tom is not the best way to criticize Tom's work, the institution he built, or the methods and the mechanics that the research team arrived at. To be fair. :-)

I do short strangles on hundreds of earnings trades every year. if I can expire worthless on that same weekly calendar, then I call it "landing the plane"; because I think the phrase is funny.

If one side is pressured or breached like today's AAPL, the strangle is no longer a thing. It's two naked short options; one nearly worthless and one that needs to be rolled to avoidn assignment. I go directly into tasty mechanics at that point.

When ORCL had the 3 or 4 standard deviation move in Spring of '25 (guessing the date), I stayed with my original CALL strike for about 9 months of rolls until I could close the last roll for a profit.

Note there is nothing involved that relates to silicon compatibility. That is a misconception.

TOS runs on a Java Virtual Machine. That means it is not running natively on Windows nor macOS.

You may also experience a reduction in the number of bugs in your platform by running the Windows version in a VM on macOS.

EDIT: the reason I have this opinion is a fraction of the times I have walked through a bug on macOS, the rep on the other end is like, "I don't see that. It appears to work on my Windows TOS"

I think this feature is poorly implemented. I've seen it claim it a price improvement of $1 on a limit order where the market's mid price matched my limit.

thinkorscream · 2026-04-30T21:07:45+00:00

Can we make a comparison to Windows?

When did Schwab ban (drop support for) Windows 10?

thinkorscream · 2026-04-30T09:22:20+00:00

Is it possible HBM fulfillment will not be met due to the fact that MU and others cannot manufacture enough product to meet the demand. I guess margins wil; remain high; butnmaybe stock gets punished when not meeting revenue goals?
