Anyone else experiencing problems with TDAmeritrade iPhone app? My thinkorswim’s iSwim works normal, no problems. It is mind boggling as TD Ameritrade bought thinkorswim, so both apps are essentially the same.

Never mind, they just sent message to everyone through their thinkTDA, that “All TOS systems should be back in full speed and capacity”. Problem was supposedly in thinkcript study alerts.

how good is the thinkorswim‚Äôs iSwim as a trading platform ? Any link ?… TD Waterhouse is planning to introduce it here in Canada in lieu of its active trader platform … To what extent is it workable as applied on the iP4 / iPad (any limitations) ?

tos is excellent platform. I talked to developers at TD Ameritrade, and they are working on some huge app for iPhone/iPad. They are not allowing third party developers to work on tools as they did for creators of istockmanager. I do not know if this new app is based on tos which they bought this year or whether it is completely different platform. tos on iPhone (iSwim) is limited on many things, most notable on having just one study per time period set. There are many tools that you have available on thinkorswim desktop but not on iSwim (no Prophet, no scanner, no analyzer, no scripting etc.). Think of it as bare bones thinkorswim desktop. But as for real time trading and charting on the go, there is everything you need. I place more trades through iPhone’s iSwim/TDA apps than through desktop.

There are just 2 resistances immediately ahead that matter:
244.56
245.75
Once we are through those, next ones are:
254.67
265.99
All of those (as of today) are potential breakout zones. That is those are the spots where a lot of stops are placed by those who are shorting AAPL. If price is pushed through those resistances, those stops get executed en mass causing fast rising spikes – breakouts.

My own newbie charting suggests on very slow days like yesterday and as of recent, there a lot of “mini-resistance” points… On high volumes, I think your spread-out resistance points make sense
I am just practicing “virtual” day-trading (no real buys / sells) to “make my teeth” … I really don’t feel so comfortable carrying out daily trading as I keep thinking that AAPL should be trading at 290 by now (But the lousy market “oblige”) …
I will be testing Nolavabo’s Weekly Options pin theory and then hazard in daily trading… My highly successful swing trading of 2009, has been very mediocre in 2010… If and when, I carry out day trading, I will do it in lots of 1,000 shares… So, that “mini resistance levels” may yield decent successive gains : a 0.40 variation translates in $400 profits per sell / buy… Four successful ones yield $1,600 profits, but I will try doing the more lucrative $3-$5 spread as it is more lucrative, this is where Nolavabo’s theory becomes interesting to apply betwen Wednesday and Friday…

I thought the iSwim app only works for iSwim customers. I’m from the TDA side.
