![]() ![]() Basically the script takes three parameters 1) stock symbol 2) dollar amount 3) an option to pick from either "buy market" or "buy at ask+0.01". If can't be done thru thinkorswim UI, can this be done by script? I don't know anything about scripting at all. What's the workaround to place a buy trade in the quickest possible way with a stock symbol and dollar amount? Coming from other platforms, I'm used to put a % or a dollar amount which is so easy. Also, even if I choose to go to the route of Trade -> Custom Buy order, shift hotkey doesn't seem to work and pops up with "confirm and send". The custom buy template doesn't show in active trader window which I would prefer to use to place the trade. So when the trading time comes for a stock, I need to put the stock ticker, do a right click and then choose that custom buy order template (with my dollar amount pre-filled). TD customer service said the only way to do this the fastest possible way is to go under Trade and build a custom buy template beforehand. Calculating quantity during trading time is tricky if the stock price is moving fast. Active trader doesn't allow cash (or % of buying power funds) to use so during trading time, the quantity must be calculated fairly accurate (with some offset) for a security.
