thinkorswim® desktop platform: Adding Scripts

Hello everyone, I'm Barbara Armstrong, a coach with Schwab, here to guide you through a quick trade management mini-session on adding scripts on the thinkorswim platform. Scripts can enhance your chart analysis and watchlist management by providing additional data and functionality. Let's dive into the process of adding scripts to your charts and watchlists on thinkorswim.

To begin, the first script we will discuss adds year-to-date, month-to-date, week-to-date, and other metrics to your chart for a comprehensive view of the stock's performance. The process involves uploading the script using the code "LJYKFC3," naming it, and applying it to your chart. Additionally, we will explore adding scripts to watchlists to track performance metrics like three-month and four-week returns. Customizing your watchlist with these scripts can help you analyze stock performance more efficiently.

If you'd like to explore more scripts and their functionalities, consider joining a dedicated class on thinkorswim for in-depth knowledge. Remember that scripts are case-sensitive and may vary in accuracy, so use them cautiously. Now, let's enhance your trading experience on thinkorswim by incorporating these useful scripts.
