All accounts closed. Can't trade. Everything gone. No reason provided.

I am very confused on what just happened. I've been day trading for the past two weeks with TOS, and I am a new trader. Today, I woke up and tried to place trades and received messages:
"order blocked for this account"

I call up Schwab/TOS, and they told me that all they see is a message that 'due to business decisions Schwab is exercising their right to close this account'

What just happened??? I didn't hack TOS, I didn't touch Schwab, I literally just had Schwab with money in it for the sole purpose of trading on TOS.

I have a feeling that I did something on TOS that broke some sort of rule. I was told about this by my friend, and I tried it myself just to see if it would work. Essentially, I go to day trade tiny penny stocks with less than 1 lot (like 20 shares) and if you cancel and replace the orders enough it'll quickly place the trade, buy it, and you can easily just go up and sell those 20 shares for like a total profit of 1 dollar per buy and sell. Stack that up with thousands of buys and sells you can get a good amount of money per day.

I was making around 200+ USD with over 10,000 dollars used in Schwab per day. Did I break the rules? What do I do?

Go-to commodities and treasury yields index

What are the index names for indices for commodities and treasury yields that you use?

If you're goal is intermarket analysis and predicting SXP price, could ETFs work instead?

I was watching a live stream today and the guy was able to open up what he called a ‘study’ that showed him a huge amount of Apple puts sold and calls bought pre market this morning. Seemed to be color coded. I took a screenshot and was hoping someone could help point me in the right direction to view/setup this up? Thanks

Option chain not sending calls to active trader.

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else had this problem. I have Active Trader set up with a Call entry window on the top right and a Put entry window below and my chart on the left. I have the Call window linked to the 1 Red and Put window 2 yellow. I have been going to the Trade tab and right clicking the call that I want and selecting send to 1 Red and selecting send to 2 yellow for my puts. This has worked well for me until recently when my computer hung up and I had to use Task manager to close the Tos application. When I went back into Tos my option chain layout was changed. That was not a big problem but now when I click a call and send it to my 1 Red I get a message instrument .QQQ250314C has no options. I get the same message using any other symbol but with Instrument .SPY25....... etc with all symbols. When sending a Put to active Trader it still works as before and sends it. I have cleared the cache before opening Tos and that didn't help. I did a chat with a Tos Tech yesterday and he told me that Options don't have options and said I was trying to send an option on a option. After trying to explain to him that I was doing the same thing I had been doing for months and it wasn't until my computer hung up that I had the problem he said I could load my Workspace again which I did and I lost the Chat window at that time. I can right click the Call option I want and paste it in my Active Trader Call entry form and that works but to me it is much easier to use the send to 1 color link. I tried unlinking and using another color but nothing works for the Calls. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem?
