How to t.o.s.
When it comes to brokers - there is no “one size fit’s all” but there are a few brokers out there who have tried to give it a shot. One of these brokers is ThinkorSwim (owned by Schwab). Over the years this broker has had a few different owners - although it really has not changed much (in appearance) since it was owned by the creator Tom Sosnoff.
This is a massive platform - offering users the choice to customize things in a way that few are prepared for. This post will focus on the development of you - your TOS platform and making it work for you. I have a series of videos that teach you various ways to customize things and how to add indicators, charts, watchlists, ect ect.
My goal - is not to make your TOS look like mine or function like mine - but instead my goal is to show you how to save your work, find the things you are interested in and to show you how to customize it - to help you make it unique to your needs.
HOW to TOS Playlist
In the link above - I have a playlist that walks you through things from the start. You can watch them in any order but recommended going down the list.
There are never enough videos - honestly I barely scratched the surface! But - there are a lot of great videos on-line about TOS as well - so here is a playlist from Schwab YouTube channel.
TOS WorkBook
I also have a private discord that is full of TOS studies that I made or collected over the years; this Discord Library has watchlists, scanners, custom studies, education about indicators, and so much more. Click this link to join.
Morning Briefing YouTube Links
Each day - I do a morning briefing video that examines the moves overnight & prepares us for todays trading ( almost all this work is done in TOS). I look at the same charts each day - and I have made charts that you can use as well.

Morning Briefing
I have two blog posts that do a good job explaining the process of the morning briefing; check them out here & here to understand that process. While I do this briefing each morning - my goal is to teach you a process - (mine) and encourage you to develop your own process as you grow into these concepts.
I look at the things relevant to me and what I trade; you’ll want to learn this and then adjust things to meet your needs. (For Example: I do my briefing early because I have things to do before the open - you may want to do your briefing closer to 9:30am).
