Hey guys! I am currently working on learning the thinkorswim software by TD ameritrade. Does anyone have some advice as to where to learn more about this software instead of googling every single question I have? It is very intricate and a big step up from MT4!!
Plenty of good tutorials on their site, in my opinion.

I was helping a friend who trades equities. He uses TOS and so I got a close look at the platform. My personal opinion is that it is needlessly complicated to use. If it has any redeeming value it is in its ability to create watch lists. But there are web sites that allow you to create watch lists too. There are much better trading platforms out there although not free.
What is so special about TOS that makes you want to use it?
I’ve heard nothing but good things about the platform. It seems to be a one stop for almost everything you could need when trading. And as you mentioned it is free, and I am by no means an experienced trader, so would like to learn how to trade with free software before I really dial in on what platform best for me.t

For those wishing to explore the possibilities of configuring ThinkOrSwim, to get ready-made indicators and scanners, you can look at this forum https://blog.thetrader.top/. Something interesting is constantly posted there. There you can also get information on how to get an account without opening a deposit.
