This platform is suited for retail traders that use discretionary trading strategies and automated strategies alike. As far as HFT goes I cannot say as I haven't developed any strategies of that kind. So, i can't determine its appropriateness. For forex and stock trading I would say it has everything you need. I also can't vouch for how well it performs for options traders, I would imagine it may not be the go to app as I don't see any og the Greeks that options traders would need to monitor to make trading decisions.

Unlike Active Trader Pro, TD Ameritrade's advanced desktop platform thinkorswim has no frequent trader requirements. It is also very advanced, boasting 400 technical studies and 20 drawing tools. It offers paper money, a practice mode. Forex and futures can also be traded on thinkorswim. There are many useful features on thinkorswim, such as heat maps, live streaming of CNBC, an economic calendar, alerts, and more. thinkorswim is tailored to more sophisticated traders and it is not that user-friendly compared to Active Trader Pro.
