Where can I find more about using my trading platform or setting up charts?

It’s important to know how to modify your own charts, as they need to be customized to what you have and what you want.  You also want to know how to make these changes, in case you’re in the middle of a trade and the chart doesn’t have something you need.  It’s worth learning this so you’ll have the knowledge to create your own charts and therefore increased confidence in your use of the platform.

thinkorswim does provide some great training on how to set up charts in their learning center.    They have videos and text instructions with steps to walk you through what you need to set up your charts.  Setting up charts (less than 10 minutes):  https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/howToTos/thinkManual/charts .
