#6141 RE: cintrix #6140

Hi. Sorry for the late reply. I'm still not used to this new format, so I don't notice messages in the inbox. I have both the StreetsmartEdge and Think or Swim Desktop (separate installed programs) on my computer.

I can use them both currently, (I've had them for a long time). Yes, the ThinkorSwim has lots of bells and whistles. I really don't do much daytrading/flipping, (and when I do I suck lol), so I don't need any of what ThinkorSwim offers. I will log in to see what stocks are tanking premarket (See photo). In one of the side-window "widgets", Or I can follow what stocks are tanking real-time during regular hours.

I don't trade in TD Ameritrade at all, I have a few accounts with them, but no money to speak of. When I do trade (Schwab, Fidelity and others) I just use their web-based trading.

I think that's really dumb that you can't use both ThinkorSwim and StreetSmartEdge simultaneously, so you can have smooth transition

Also, thanks for the heads up about phasing out StreetSmartEdge. I had wondered about that. It's bad news for me, as I use StreetsmartEdge all day for watchlist / positions streaming quotes, and I like the format. I just don't like the "look" of Think or Swim in comparison. I suppose there is a lot of customizing that I could do, which I haven't looked into.
