Thinkorswim AutoTrade Almost

In this video we show how to build your own code using a point and click condition wizard. The condition wizard makes it very simple to build your own set of rules for trade execution. However you may not realize the code generated by the condition wizard can be very easily inserted into a template to form a Strategy and/or Custom Chart Study. We supply the templates, and show you how to put it all together. You will learn how to build your code using the condition wizard and you will learn how to convert that into a Strategy file. And Using tools we provided in previous videos you will then be able to analyze the performance of those Strategies. We also show you how to use the condition wizard to generate orders that will execute in the same way as those theoretical orders generated by the custom Strategies. AutoTrades are not fully supported on Thinkorswim as on other platforms. However if you learn how to connect the pieces you can place conditional orders that await the signal created by a set of defined rules. Once the conditions are satisfied, the order is released from hold and becomes a live order.

2. about trading platform
3. where is this software available? can we download to our desktop?
4. Dumb Question, at 8:32 how do you get to the Condition Wizard (Study Order Condition) page?
5. Great job on this video! I have been using Ninja for running my automated strategy. I wanted to able to convert my EMA Slope indicator that I use on Ninja to use on TOS. Please let me know if you can help with conversion. Thanks!
6. can you show me the code for the alert value?
7. Thanks for the video! Do you have any experience with Ameritrade's API, since there is still a limit with this "conditional order"? Would you like to share anything related to that?
8. Thank you Mr. Hahn; your explanations were clear and easy to follow.  I want to implement the Ehler's Stoch study/strategy into "auto trade"  but neither show up in the condition wizard, even though they are TOS listed.  Am I missing something?  I want to be able to sell based on the sell signal from Ehler's Stock.
9. Hahn i can't begin to give u enough credit for the work u do,WHENEVER U POST A VIDEO..i stop what i'm doing and pay attention over & over again...u have made it for me to not ever go outside of the TOS platform...i trade stocks, options and Forex and every time i think i need to use to platforms u come to the resue...THANKS HAHN
10. Hey pete great vids! Keep up the great work!
    Is it posable to specify a time range in a day?
    - say you wanted to filter down to only have a condition trigged between 1:23am and 4:56 pm?
11. Couple questions 1. Do you have to keep creating conditional orders once one is filled? 2. How does conditinal close orders work with forex, for example if i want to close an order based on a macd crossover?
12. Can you create signal which triggers Buy/Sell when condition is met on multiple time frame 1D, 1H, 3m?
13. Hi Pete, can you show a video on how to export the data set OHLC for the daily chart for a specific time frame (ex. 30-50 years)? I know what i want to do, but cant figure out how to do it. Any ticker will do. Thank you, kindly.
14. Thanks, Pete, another great one for sure. I had a question, regarding conditional ordering. I found a strategy that works both ways, long and short using auto for the theoretical orders. It seems I can't have more than one directional order out at the same time on the same instrument. Is that right? Hence the "almost auto" part;-) Also, is there an auto replace once the entry and exit conditions are met?
15. "Holly Cow"...soooo easy. thanks!!!!!!!
