Plain-English tutorials on building charts and finding your way around the thinkorswim platform.

Why this section exists

I like building charts, and I like helping people find their way around Schwab’s thinkorswim platform. This section collects short, step-by-step tutorials for people who are new to it, or who want to tidy up how they work with charts.

Everything here is educational. It explains how the tools work. It does not tell you what to do with the market.
