    Question for ThinkOrSwim Users ... is it me or does TOS bid lag Ameritrade Quote bid?

    I do like TOS and i have my chart set to display bid price instead of last price. When comparing TOS bid to Ameritrade Quote bid, it seems to lag to me. I should mention that i live in the countryside and my internet connection is very slow, so that could be a factor. Maybe it's all good and the...

    Scalping Vs. Runners

    I switched from swing trading to intraday 9 months ago. I have been tempted to go back but I'm not too big on giving up and i have the time and enjoy the challenge. I have determined i do far better on the 2 to 5 cent targets than i do with runners. I trade stocks and ETFs. Now I'm trying to...

    New 2018: Pictures Of Your Trading Stations

    Nothing fancy. I bought that pc about 12 years or more ago, in an effort to improve a super slow dial-up connection in the country, where that was all available. It did improve speed noticably but still poor by today's standards. Today we have extended broadband which is still too slow for most...

    Multiple monitor layout

    For all who use multiple monitors, what do you use the multiples for? Until today, I've only used a single monitor. Today i set up a extra computer and monitor next to my primary. I run Ameritrade TOS on the primary, plus i have tabs open for 6 charts on Finviz. The extra monitor, i plan to...

    What's your day trading experience?

    Interesting strategy. I see you use 5 minute charts for it, which surprises me you aren't using 1 minute. Whatever works is good. My hat's off to you for sharing.

    what are your thoughts on indicators that claim to call tops and bottoms?

    Prettiest such indicator i ever saw is called TTM Scalper Alert, and on a static chart, you'd think it was the holy grail. Trouble is, the alert signal appears 2 to 6 bars back on the chart, usually 4 or 5 one minute bars back. If trending hard, you might get a 2 bar signal. Otherwise, if you...

    "super trend stops" indicator

    Related ... I'm using "TrendQuality" indicator that comes with TOS. Like dozens of other indicators I've tested, I may eventually cull it, but right now I have it. https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/Tech-Indicators/studies-library/T-U/TrendQuality.html

    Advise me on R:R for scalping 0.02 and 0.03

    True, but on a high volume stock, there are many small traders trading at every price level. If you watch the trades on a stock or etf with a 1 cent spread (with a price between $10 and $60) you can see total number of shares traded, jumping by 30k and more without the price changing (no impact).
