click on "setup" in the upper right hand corner, then click on "notifications" tab, enter the email address in "send email to:" and click "get confirmation code". this will send a confirmation code to the email address. when you get that, enter it in the confirmation code box and click to...

i inavdertantly scripted out 2 symbols in the nasd 100 list. add ctas and csco.

i've been using finviz for quite a while but i only recently registered on the web site. registering lets you do a few things unregistered users can do, such as save screens. i have a java program that i use for custom screens i wrote but lately i've been playing more with other screens and...

great. glad everything is ok, i was running out or ideas...

hmmm.... have you run other spreadsheets that use macros and activex controls successfully? if so it's possible there's some other compatibility issue with my spreadsheets. i disabled macros on my system and i didn't get a compile error when i clicked the button, it gave me a message saying...

yes, when you click on the arrow next to the date picker a calendar should drop down. the most likely cause of these problems is that you don't have macros enabled. i have the 2010 excel version so your procedure for enabling them may be different. in excel 2010 there is a trust center option...

sorry for the confusion. no, libreoffice doesn't support RTD. i was on my linux system when i posted this and i was too lazy to log on to my windows computer, so i just loaded the spreadsheet in libreoffice to get the screen capture.

thanks to dan for sharing his spreadsheet in tg1. i suspect everyone who wants to monitor the skewdriver table has already built their own spreadsheet, but in case you haven't i created one that will allow you to select the expiration date from a date picker and it will automatically fill in...

i use ubuntu linux. redhat isn't free, but their community supported version, fedora is, but it's only supported for 2 years. ubuntu has an lts version that's supported for 5 years. you don't want to ever use a non-supported operating system. i also don't like upgrading every year or two...

i know this isn't a viable option for everyone, but if you don't absolutely need windows i would recommend using linux. linux is faster, more secure, has fewer bugs, uses fewer resources, and best of all it's free. an added bonus you don't have to put up with microsoft. i would recommend...

thanks for your comments, dan. from what i've seen of monkey bars is that they're thinkorswim's version of market profile, which removes time from the x axis. pac charts don't do this, but they are similar to volume profile. i'll look at adding vwap to see if it adds any additional clues. one...

the chart shown below is called a price activity chart (PAC chart). probably most here have never seen these before. the details of its construction were described in a stocks and commodities magazine around 2004 plus or minus a few years, i think. i'm not sure why these never caught on with...

i agree with others, that you don't need a high end cpu or high end graphics to run thinkorswim. i run it on a 12 year old notebook and it's fine. the extra money for a solid state disk is worth it. spend your money on the fastest memory and fastest disk. today's mid-range processors are...

i don't want to comment on the usefulness of skew but i track skew and vix. here's a graph of the last few years.

tom will have to tell you what constitutes a yellow or red color on his dashboard but the below link has skew information with links to white papers, a FAQ, and historical data. http://www.cboe.com/products/vix-index-volatility/volatility-indicators/skew

i use tastyworks but it's not my primary trading platform so i'm not a power user. it runs on java so it will run on different operating systems. it's fast, stable and has very good support. commissions are good, everyone gets the same commissions: options are $1 per contract to open, $0 to...

i don't use interactive brokers so i can't answer your question but i can offer a poor man's alternative. the ttm squeeze is just an indicator of when the bollinger bands are inside the keltner channel. you can reproduce this on charting sites like stockcharts.com or barchart.com by just...

back to long term diagonals... one thing to be aware of if trading these using weeklys for the shorts, like i do, is on days like today you may have to do more than one adjustment a day. early in the trade, large stock movements are particularly problematic. the gamma on short term options is...
