Let's see what is covered in this course.
This lecture shows how to open you account. The singapore website of TDAmeritrade is used as an example. You need to submit documents to get your account ready. Once your account is ready, you will receive an email from TDAmeritrade and then you can wire funds to your account to start trading.
Alternatively you can also continue to use the Virtual account without wiring funds. Virtual account is free for 30 days. So if you wish to continue using the virtual account one method is just wire $100 into your real account, so that you can continue to use the virutal account for as long as you wish and learn trading, before you start using actual money for trading.
This lesson also shows how to get the desktop application for thinkorswim.
This lecture shows a very quick overview of the TOS platform and its capabilities. The following lectures take a deep dive in each of the tabs to discuss details.
We configure the TOS platform in this lecture so that we can have a comfortable look and feel while trading and also put in some thresholds that will prevent us from doing any mistakes
The Monitor tab helps you monitor your existing open positions and your orders in queue. This is where you can categorise your orders too based on your strategy.
This lecture shows how we place Stock and Option trades and how we check our trade before we send it to the market for execution. We also discuss GTC trade setting where we can keep the trade for the same day or for as long as we wish.
The Scan tab is the Screener to find trades for us. It helps us input various parameters based on which it scans the entire market and gives us trades that match our parameters. This tab really makes life easy for a trader because it allows you to input various params you are looking up for a stock or option based on your Strategy. This tab brings your Strategy to life!
Let's do a quick run through of what we covered so far in the closing and you can have the take away and bonus in the next lecture. Thanks for attempting the lessons so far, hope they added value.
I really hope you loved this course. Now the next most important thing to a trading platform is the charting platform. I personally use TradingView charting platform as it is one of the best Charting platforms available. Its free version has some great features for which you need to pay in other charting platforms.
I have created a quick course on TradingView Charting Platform that gives you the shortcuts in TradingView that can enhance your game.

ThinkOrSwim is the most powerful trading platform available. However that also makes it the most confusing for beginners and it takes a while before we can use its features to give us an edge in trading.
This course shows you a quick intro to most features you will need to get started with your trading. Many advanced options have purposely been kept out to keep the videos short and quick. For those who already know the basics of how to use TOS platform may wish to consider taking the other course which shows more advanced features.
This is ideal for beginner level in thinkorswim platform.
I welcome your feedback and suggestions on what else can i add to this course that will be useful and areas of improvements. I will then try my best to add lessons based on your suggestions as and when my time permits.
