Why did you bail out of using ToS(back in the Day) ? Just wondering
Cheers to the Guy that got me into OPTIONS with your old Options for Beginners using the ToS Platform

Right margin for the win.
Great video chris! I didn't know about calculating select trades from the history tab. Looking forward to new videos.

The fees are crazy no? I sold a put credit spread for $22 today and paid in fees about $20.50. Is that right?

[mikedeee]

Thank you 😊

btw, where can we see the percentage of the stock?

It’s not on the chart page or the positions tab…SMH

Hi Chris. Is it possible to arrange stocks in your watchlist? It looks like once you add in the stocks to your watch list they are staying in that order. In order to rearrange the stock order, you must delete and add again in order you like. Am I correct? Thank you for your time.

good to see you back :) making videos - thank you!

Great video, I learned a couple of new things and have been using the platform for a few years! I do have one quick question if you don't mind: While in the options trading table, how do you add more columns? Besides the standard bid/ask, I can only have two columns (desktop version 2.14.0). Thanks a bunch.

Hey chris, you been doing this for some time. And i assume you got somewhat good at it. Do you actualy get a much better return on your investments in the long run compared to just putting it in stocks? You take on more risk and put in more effort...so i hope the returns beat the S&P500 by a fair margin once you get good at it?
