Overall Satisfaction with thinkorswim

We use it primarily to help us navigate the investment markets in real-time. We use the streaming quotes and charts, but also the live feed of CNBC during market hours. In particular, the chart setup with the upper and lower studies uses MACD, Bollinger bands, and the moving averages.
  • The appearance of the platform.
  • The customization of the platform.
  • The news feed.
  • The ability to customize or link the windows with others.
  • Offering more streaming platforms, like bloomberg for example or Fox Business.
  • Quote grids with listing
  • Chart studies
  • Level 2
  • It has allowed up to provide detailed analysis.
  • Keeps us well informed of stock positions.
  • Stock activity like dividends and reorgs.
Both are pretty good; Schwab seeks out a little for other reasons. Like custodianship and service. But soon it's not going to matter as both firms are set to become one pretty soon.

I think this site does a great job in providing the information that any day trader, market timer, or long-term investor. I think that it is useful to all types of people who would take the time to understand it. Now it could be extremely overwhelming to a novice or someone who has difficulty understanding ding financial concepts, but to those that are willing it's a great platform.
