TOS
Twin Oak Strategic Solutions ETF
stock BATS ETF

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, only interested in TOS on a very basic level, myself. I enjoy learning about companies and stock trading as a hobby. I have CNBC Pro, Investing.com, TipRanks and Seeking Alpha subscriptions. My body typically
has a "built-in" alarm clock that wakes me up before 3am CT to check in on the Pre-market action. I am frustrated at times when I want to enter a trade in the wee mornings but must wait until 6am CT before my trade executes since I am still on the regular Schwab trading platform. I trade either on my phone or IPad, virtually anywhere, but no fancy workstation is in my future. I can admire a good-looking pro-set-up though for sure! We may reach out to a fiduciary fee-only advisor for periodic check-up's for additional wealth planning advice, but plan to keep doing the investing part myself. Our CPA said our next immediate step is up-dating our wills and establishing trusts for our adult children/grandchild. I am learning a lot this year and last year about tax efficiency investing and have made some real strategic decisions about our investments because of this knowledge. My husband just received a rather large chunk of change from a sale of a manufacturing business that he and his brother have owned for 36 years. I put it all in national short and intermediate muni bond ETF's to help me SWAN! I am slowly but surely also realizing some large LTCG's in our taxable account on some "popular" tech growth stocks. I am selling individual underwater lots on other equites/bond holdings to help with tax loss harvesting these gains. I am moving over to more index etf investments, including s&p 500, international and divident etf's. I also dabble in CC ROC ETF's, and some MLP's as well. I have been using "Claude" as a sounding board lately, and "he" has taught me some things I didnt know! I know AI "hallucinates" at times though, so try to double check "his" advice. Thanks for listening 🤣

freelancing activities shouldnt be done on a personal account, those require a business account, which is why revolut closes personal accounts when freelancing activity is detected, its against their TOS iirc, which is also why with proof of funds their account gets nuked

So far, I am just "looking at "TOS." An advisor at Schwab who is trying to unsuccessfully put my investments under AUM with him suggested it because he knows I do all my own trading for myself and my husband. I also manage my BIL's trust (he's on the Spectrum") and a taxable account of his and MIL's taxable E-trade account. I simply enjoy the "hobby." TOS looks intimidating to me so far, but may hang around a bit in this sub reddit and may learn a thing or two that will change my mind!

Does anyone use TOS in GrapheneOS on Pixel?

It came up on TOS twice that they’re planning on ipo in the next couple months. However, trading news is potentially always garbage.

TOS can be argued in this case.

No, not really. It’s like driving a car with a faulty seatbelt. You crash and get really hurt. Investigation finds out, seatbelt was faulty. Car company said it was secure but it wasn’t.
A TOS is not a law and are often thrown out by judges.

I did paper trading for a month, but found it limiting because i couldn't use the scanners in TOS correctly with paper trading. So i just funded my account with $100 so i can actually start managing risk and getting a taste of real trading, i can still run the "on demand" and practice strategies and whatnot.

His idea for a marketplace for "in-game digital collectibles" was particularly enlightening. He was astounded that "the thing game companies literally ban you for" didn't exist lmao. Like, get real bro, if these companies wanted you selling in-game items for real currency they'll just make that marketplace themselves. Either he's so high on his own supply that he thinks he knows everything and doesn't bother to conduct the most basic research (didn't even need to read a single TOS, that's shit literally any gamer could have told him) or he thinks the rest of the world is that stupid, but either way, he is vastly overestimating his own intelligence.

I'm new to TOS, on my second week trading. I've been dialing in my custom scanners looking for high momentum and getting "opening transactions for this security must be placed with a broker"
This is happening on close to 25% of the stocks I'm considering, I feel like I'm losing out when I discover I cannot buy these fast moving stocks. Today its already noon and I've made a list of over 10 stocks that have given me this error.
I've read that there is a "call in restriction waiver" that I can sign that would remove these restrictions.
I know I'm fairly new to the system, and I'm still learning, but it seems like these stocks are some of the more upward moving stocks that I want to buy, based on my scanner results, these are low float high demand stocks that i'm looking for, mostly in the penny to <$10 range.
My question, is have you called in to request this waiver? Or should I hold off for the moment until I get more experience? Or is this a permanent block that is good to keep on so I don't ever mistakenly buy into one of these securities?

> although my own firm and its accountant believe that one is sufficient and not two.
Note that even in France some people get it wrong and determine they don't *need* a 2nd account (self-entrepreneur). Which is entirely right... then they get blocked by Revolut for TOS violation. Because the 2 account requirement is set per country *and by Revolut*, in a move that's against the usual banks (because why would you kick out a customer for following national regulations...)

So you guys were doing that many orders? I've been using TOS for 5 years now. I average under 390 a day. I just try to market but in a one cent spread and try to get a couple cents or sell out the same cent for loser. IT's kept from a job for that long. How on earth could you get so many orders filled buying the bid. I assume everyone is trading stuff with a one cent spread?

I use thinkorswim for my execution, news, and trade analytics, but use tradingview for charting. Love my double active trader window with two etfs I rotate. I'm curious to what your desktop TOS workspace is setup like with specific settings and configurations you find that make workflows or execution better for you.

Ok does light speed use schawb? I’m brand new to this and I had help setting up my account while on FaceTime using TOS
I’m going up to fiedlity in the morning because I’ve seen they have free wire transfers

TOS is rigged to cheat u out of money. They slow it down at most inconvenient times. They see everything ur doing (they the computer algos). Get different broker. Lightspeed works well for me.

u/RankUpTrading Sorry for the delay. I was traveling all last week, but I was meaning to respond to this one since you were kind enough to share such a detailed post. This is exactly the kind of workflow detail I was hoping people would share.
The part that really resonates is reducing cognitive load and reducing entry/exit mistakes. That’s basically the rabbit hole I’ve been going down.
I’ve been working on some code around this idea — not as a signal service, but more as a semi-automated execution workflow where the setup defines the entry, failure level, target, position size, and live monitoring state. The trader still controls the logic, but the system handles more of the math, state tracking, and execution consistency.
The first version was built to connect through the IBKR API, largely because I ran into the same kind of limitations you’re describing with charting-platform execution. TOS is great for a lot of things, but once you start thinking about state tracking, order logic, monitoring, and repeatable execution, it feels like the platform starts to matter a lot.
I agree with your main point: the software has to match the trading style. For fast intraday trading, the edge is not just the strategy — it’s whether the workflow can be repeated under pressure without unnecessary mistakes.
When you coded your NinjaTrader tool, was it mainly for pre-trade sizing, or did you also have it track the trade state after entry?

> Why are you trolling people who are having the typical problems faced by literally thousands (if not tens of thousands) of Revolut customers?
If tens of thousands opened **a freacking bank account** without reading the TOS, and then complains "nobody told me I couldn't do tax fraud", that's on them.
I'm European and I was taught that independant businesses NEED two accounts, if you miss that info AND don't read the TOS **and** decide to use your accounts to do regular buy-sell, *at what point are you simply irresponsible and a ticking timebomb for your bank?*
