TD Ameritrade announces further enhancements to thinkorswim
TD Ameritrade is enhancing its thinkorswim trading product suite with a host of new features and services as the integration with Schwab continues to move forward.
New thinkorswim enhancements include:
- thinkorswim Desktop: Charting and scripting capabilities take center stage, with the addition of 11 new charting studies and the release of the thinkscript® Integrated Development Environment (IDE), an advanced code editor that allows users to create, edit and manage their own studies and strategies or build on existing studies (both predefined and user-defined) within the thinkorswim platform for a tremendously expanded customizable experience.
- thinkorswim Mobile: “Portfolio Digest” has been added to its overview page, allowing users to see what in the news may be affecting their holdings without logging in to a computer, in addition to improving on its display behavior while in Privacy mode and updating the look and feel of its watchlists.
- thinkorswim Web: The platform’s charting system now offers a fuller trading offering with seamless drag-and-drop order editing and one-click cancellations alongside a display of historical and upcoming earnings projections. Also recently added is an Active Trader ladder interface with integrated order entry, volume display and Bid/Ask size at various price levels, and integrated Profit/Loss display – all fully accessible and mobile responsive.
Additionally, in an early example of how TD Ameritrade trader clients will benefit from the integration and the breadth and depth of what the combined firm will offer, TD Ameritrade launched a virtual Active Trader Branch in April. Here, Active Trader Financial Consultants focus on trader “coaching” and wealth management to help meet the unique needs of their self-directed traders.
The new Active Trader Branch builds on the success of a similar service already available to Schwab trader clients.
