Schwab-TDA Merger: Thoughts, Rumors, Sightings...

[MerryDay]

Yes, there were difficulties with some of the earlier migration groups not having their custom studies available at their initial sign-on.
Schwab created a procedure to port individual libraries to resolve the problem.
None of the subsequent migration moves experienced this issue.

Does anyone have a solution for performing custom scans? How are people dealing with the lack of access in Canada?

My concern is we don't have an alternative. I'm wondering what others are doing.

Unfortunately, Canada has lost access to ToS and ToS custom scans.

Will saved tos.mx links (studies, scripts, charts, workspaces, etc.) continue to work after Schwab merger?

Yes, on May 13th, everyone will be on the Schwab version of ThinkOrSwim.
At that time, all share links will work for everyone.

FYI:


Workspaces and any saved links are not stored on TDA servers, therefore they will not be transferred.
To reload those:
1. create shared links before May 10th.
2. WRITE THOSE LINKS DOWN IN A SAFE PLACE!
Workspaces and links will NOT be in your library in the Schwab ToS version.
3. sign-in May 13th or after, with your Schwab log-on
4. load your shared workspaces and links. Click here for --> Easiest way to load shared links

It's strange that this works. While you can't share links between current Schwabbies and TD members. You can open the links you made in TD just fine later in Schwab. Must be some backward compatibility thing or something.

Also, can I assume any settings/history I have in the paper trading space will be deleted? Not a huge deal, but just curious.
