I've been using both ThinkorSwim Web and the desktop version for quite some time, and each has its unique strengths. While the desktop version is renowned for its robust features and extensive customization options, the web version is quite efficient for on-the-go trading with a more streamlined interface. One standout feature of the web version is its accessibility; you don’t need to download anything, making it convenient if you're switching between different devices.
When it comes to charting and technical analysis, the desktop version does offer more advanced capabilities and a wider array of indicators. However, the web version maintains a good balance by including essential tools like moving averages and RSI, which are sufficient for many traders. This makes it a practical choice if you need quick access without the bulkiness of the desktop setup.
A tip for getting the most out of ThinkorSwim’s charting is to explore its drawing tools and study alerts, which help in identifying trends and setting alerts for your strategies. I found watching tutorials or participating in thinkMoney magazine’s webinars extremely helpful to unlock the software's full potential.
Have you noticed any particular tools or features you're missing or particularly enjoy on the web version compared to the desktop? I'd be happy to delve into specific functionalities if you’re interested!
