Thanks!!! I had to add each time when opening a new Chart all the studies - thanks to your clip I know that I had to save (and later load) chart templates. Didn't find that on IKBR.
Thank You!! I came to this video to find out WHY I was not able to do a simple Zoom on my charts. You solved that riddle. Along with a wealth of other helpful tips. I appreciate all of the details.
The part about timeframes at 20:00. You can move the scroll bar and both slide and expand/contract the time frame. The horizontal scroll bar about 1/8 of the way up and immediately above the tabs. Good job.
@@VerrilloTrading If you go to the 20:00 minute mark in the split screen. In the right screen follow the menu down to the blue market scanners folder. Just to the left and slightly down in the left screen there is an arrow with a corresponding one on the other side of the chart. In between there is also a vertical bar. You can grab the bar and expand/shrink the time period or if you grab to the left of the vertical bar you can shift the time period. You may have to select from the pink options in time frame to get it to work right. I start with daily/5 minute. It works great as you can slide the bar over in the morning and see the previous day when normally the whole right side would be blank and waiting to fill in as the day goes on. I hope this helps and makes sense.
Thanks for such a good video! Do you know how i can change the outline of the bar to be the same color as the bar? That white outline on the Heiken-ashi bars is so annoying.... tnx!!
Went through all this myself when trying out IBKR, this is a gem of a video. IBKR has ridiculous amounts of customisation which, fortunately I'm used to in applications, but it's overload generally! I'll probably still refer to this in the weeks ahead as it's quite difficult to remember everything or what stops something working etc. Good work and thanks a lot 👍🏼👍🏼
@@VerrilloTrading I dont seem to see the slider, only the bottom scroll bar, but that just brings me to current time, not in the future. is there a setting I am missing
Is there a quick way to place closing OCO orders on open positions? If I have a position of 2 aapl stock and want to place take profit at 2% and stop loss at 1%, is there a quick way (default button or hotkey) to do this?
Hello, great video! A quick question on TWS chart. If I have live orders, the order lines would appear on the chart. The thing is, when my order price is far from the going prices of the instrument, the bars would be crunched to be flat since the chart somehow needs to include the live orders, which shows a big range of price with lots of blank space. Is there any way to turn off the live orders on the chart? Thanks!
There is a setting to toggle the order display on a chart. At the top left of your chart select Edit > Global Chart Configuration. Then scroll down and find 'Order Display', uncheck 'show live orders' and that should remove the display. In the case that you want to keep the order display, it can be fixed or optimized. One option is to make sure you are on an appropriate bar period depending on how far the orders will be placed. If you are on a 1 Day historical chart, your bracket will not distort the vertical range as it would if you prompted the same bracket on a 1m intraday chart.
Awesome video. When you draw support & resístanle in a daily chart it will show in the others time frames? Or you have to do chart by chart? Thanks for doing this video
If it's the same chart and you simply changed the time frame, I think the drawings would stay on the chart. If you're question was will the drawings appear on your other charts the answer would be no.
Hi my friend. Is there a way to add a percentage axis to the chart? I'm using Charles Schwab and trying to switch over to IB, and I like a lot the percentage axis on CS, but cannot find a way to add it on IB. Thanks in advance!
Great tutorial, thank you! Question: on the right side of your chart, there is a gap between last candle and the price column. On my chart the last candle is sticked to that column, without any gaps. How do you create that gap? I can't get it on my chart and that drives my crazy :))) I want to have a gap too! :))) Please advise.
At the bottom right of the chart find the time scale. There is a little arrow pointing to the left that you can click and drag to adjust the fill space.
Do you know how to display the price axes as percentage instead of the absolute price value, useful when comparing. I do not think TWS supports, does it?
Your tutorials really helped me familiarize myself with TWS when I first started, so thank you for doing these! In Chart Trader, do you know if there's a way to make the BUY/SELL button/hotkey execute at the midprice for OPTIONS? I know there's an algo for that but it's only for stocks.
Hi community. would anybody know how to leave a margin area (space between) on the right side of the screen, between the last bar and the edge of the chart? Say ... 5 minutes area?
Where can we find the total volume of an instrument on TWS and is it possible to have the ATR number appear somewhere on the chart instead of actually having the indicator. Thanks in advance :)
On the right side of my chart how can I get the prices of the stock to show? Right now I believe it showing the bid and ask prices. I’m trying to get the stock price to show all across the platform.
At the top of your chart you would select: Edit > Global Chart Configuration > Chart Colors. The gridline color should be the second option in this menu.
thanks man. great content as usual.May i ask you why the different SMAs appear to be relative to the timeframe chosen for the chart?I thought SMAs were absolute according to the length chosen for the SMA. CANNOT GET THROUGH THIS..I believe there are some parameters/settings wrong in the chart..many thanks!
Don't overthink it. A moving average is based on price data. Making it always lagging behind price, I think traders give it too much precedence. The reason it changes it because the moving average is based on the bar time frame selected.
Great videos. Anyone know how to move TWS Chart Lower Studies up or down? I have MACD, RSI, Volume, but I would like to have RSI on top, then MACD, then Volume.
@@VerrilloTrading In the Studies menu I cannot move the Study order as listed. The Studies are listed in Alphabetical order in the Studies menu. I can create a new name for a Study and then it is listed by the new name in Alphabetical order in the Study menu. This Alphabetical order does not carry onto the Chart. The Studies seem to have a mind of their own on the chart. RSI plots above MACD, even though in the Study menu, MACD is listed above RSI. I'm not sure what is determining the Study order on the Charts. I hope there is a simple explanation. In ThinkorSwim, I just move Studies up or down in the Study Menu by clicking and dragging with my mouse.
@@ralphcolebank1329 Unfortunately then there might not be a way to do it. TWS is not a great charting platform imo but does the job if that's all you can get.

Nice find on the volume moving average! Will be sure to check it out. Have you ever came across a candle stick countdown timer? Also is there a way to turn off the automatic trend line function when I click and drag on the chart? Some programs I use allow chart dragging/repositioning. Sometimes I forget interactive draws those trend lines and it’s a huge piss off to delete a randomly drawn line over and over. Thanks man.
No candlestick timer, I know what you mean though. No way to turn off the auto trend line either. I feel like it's just something to get used to, I click on the chart by accident sometimes too which leaves you with a bunch of partially drawn white lines lol. Just right click and say remove all trend lines.
VerrilloTrading ok thanks man. As detailed and technical as tws is, I’m so surprised they don’t have those 2 simple on/off functions. Anyway. Congrats on the 2k subs bro! I was in at 1.9, let’s get you to 10k!
Great video. TWS can be a bi*ch for new users. Do you know if it's possible to set alerts in TWS based on studies? E.g., alert me when the price goes above my SMA line and the RSI is less than 40?
I'd have to look into this more but there is certainly a way of using indicator outputs as variables to execute trades for those who are into the programming side. I don't think it's possible currently, in tradingview it is.
@@blakevincent5786 No I mean current price market marked in yellow on the y axis. It is the current price of the stock, doesn't need to cursor over it.

It should be supported but may not be possible depending on how the order was first placed. Try different things, we never had a problem with this.
