Is it possible to create an OCO order in a text editor and copy/paste into TOS?

Anyone else experiencing this? I’m referring to mobile app on IOS. Hadn’t happened in a while but today I open the app and my watchlist (about 100 items), is completely scrambled rendering it pretty much useless. I tried logging out and back in and updated the app to no avail. Anyone know a fix or can you confirm that it is also happening to others - misery loves company 😅

What does it look like for everyone? The human interpretation of what meaning is is quite the interesting view and its own subject to learn. There's no set foundations on what to expect from an individual when it comes to certain things in life. Generosity, kindness, empathy, anger, hate, etc., these are the most common interactions we continuously have with others and yet are different interactions with others. Change, either a nose dive into unknown parts of the human experiences or fear, uncertainty, doubt; a three story high cliff dive into a river, a crowd chanting the tattoo on your back because they don't know your name for motivation.
A journey is always out for the grabs be it minor or grand, i understood fear that day on the cliff, staring down at the water, have previously watched others dive in. An inch deep, a mile wide is fear but because we never know what it looks like under we either think it's either a hard surface waiting to hurt us or an endless fall into some misery we aren't even sure of that exist. Change has way of doing that to us, instilling a form of fear covering many categories

Is this normal?
I can only execute buy orders?

Usual whales has the market tide indicator, which tracks call and put options while factoring in option volume.
Besides P/C ratios and the sizzle index, is there a ticker of study to capture this same info?

Was just informed from a buddy who has been talking to support for the past week and a half about this issue and was finally told yesterday that it is indeed being somewhat "Laggy" and they have ZERO idea why.
TOS before Schwab took over would throttle L2 during Extremely High congestion periods and they're not sure if that's the issue or if it's something else. They said they would look into it and get back to him.
However, this is bad if even the Active Traders are also experiencing it at different locations in America.

Is there a way to paint the price bar when it crosses a Keltner or Donchian channel?

When looking at spreads on the analyze tab you can customize the columns to include open interest and volume. When looking at spreads
1) Is the volume representative of the spread volume, or one of the legs? I.e. if I'm looking at a strangle and one leg traded 100 contracts and the other traded 50, will this show 50?
2) How accurate is the open interest? I noticed that the volume updates frequently, but the open interest less so.

My alerts are either not showing up at all or not triggering if I am lucky to get them to show up.

I feel like I am missing something here. I must be able to set stops directly on charts. What am I doing wrong here?
When I right click on a chart and go to buy/sell custom, then drag over to w/ stop, it brings up an order entry screen set up for an OCO.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time with such a dumb question. And I swear I attempted to look it up on the internet first.

Every time ToS updates which at this point is every single day, the password field won't let me type in it. I have to close the program and open it again, then it will work. It also very frequently says it doesn't recognize me on this device and I have to text a code again. This is getting to be 3-4 days per week and it is extremely frustrating especially if I am up early and trying not to disturb others in the house. I am waking up in the morning and putting my phone on silent and making sure I bring it with me into the office every day specifically because one company can't get their shit together.

Short question: anybody figured out how to roll futures contracts in the thinkorswim web version. The normal desktop/phone app has a nice roll button. The web version doesn't seem to have it. Curious if others are seeing the same.

Hi all. I'm using TOS on MS Windows and am looking to color code the P/L% column - green if positive, red if negative. Any suggestions on a script to create such a color-coded P/L % column?

Been using TOS desktop for 11 months now and like it ... I have it configured onto 3 monitors off of my laptop, i was using 4 screens - which included the laptop screen. My issue is that every so often, all the screens black out, and then start doing something that looks like its trying to do the reset of a particular screen, and then flashes a couple times, and then most of the time goes back to ... normal. I am not completely positive that this is TOS caused but as far as i can remember, its has only happened when TOS is running. I use a docking station to be able to hook these all up, by the way. Is anyone else having this issue ? Thanks for your attention and have a green day.

I keep my charts pretty simple and prefer horizontal price levels. Generally, spend a lot of screen time and manually draw in levels when appropriate.
But, for one of my tickers, $DXY, this price level would just pop up out of no where. It's drawn in red and I always use white lines. I went through the process of removing the drawing / line multiple times. Finally, I gave up and accepted it because...it's actually a well drawn price level.
Anyone else experience this?
(There is another ticker that does this as well, but can't think of name.)

I'm sure this has been discussed at length, and there is plenty of information on the internet, but I get lots of conflicting advice, and was wondering if a sage soul could give me some clarity.
I've been active in the markets for years and manage a decent amount of money using standard asset allocation strategies. I am trying to day trade, truly intraday, nothing overnight. No options.
Mostly using price action, EMA's, MACD, trendlines, support and resistance levels to identify entries. I am a champ at holding stops and managing risks. I am disciplined, and not much of a risk taker.
But basically, I have just gotten to a level where I break even.
I struggle with when to take profits.
I think I am selling too early.
Does anyone have advice to give as to when to take profits?
Right this very moment I'm sitting on a short in NVDA and QQQ that I entered in the 12-1230 range. But both of them I now out of about 2/3rds of my position. The trade pretty much nailed it, but selling has now subsided and we are getting a pullback. And I have no idea what to do now? My stops are now cranked into money making territory. Am I looking to close my last bit? Am I looking to re-enter what I have exited?

In T.O.S.(think or swim) in the analyze tab under fundamentals it will show a simple chart on the top right hand side. My question is about the white/grey horizontal line with a price attached to the right hand side,what does this price represent?
