Optimal Position Statement Layout for Options Trading Using thinkorswim



In this video I share the layout I use in the position statement area of thinkorswim's thinkDesktop trading software. This layout is organized in a manner I find intuitive as an Options Trader. I thought you might like it as well.

  1. Tx for the concise video. I think that keeping them short is key to understand ToS. If I have a credit spread working (an IC for expl) this layout will only show me each leg right ? Can't I combine them to recreate the spread. I 'd like to know at what level its being traded and the only way I found is to create the opposite trade (like u would place a new one). By this method I would know when to exit (when my IC is trading 15 % less than when I placed it for instance)
  2. Thanks so much for the information!
  3. Great video. I am a little confused on how to figure out my credit and debit when having to exit a bear call or bull put credit spread by looking at the position statement. I understand the trade price is what I bought at, and the mark price is what it is worth now. But which numbers do you subtract in the mark section to see what your debit is so you will know how much loss you will sustain if you get out of a weekly credit spread early?
  4. Good to hear. Thanks for the feedback.
  5. Thank you! These TOS how-to videos are very helpful.
