you are not permissioned for study filters in ThinkOrSwim

[didyougetone]

I've been trying to get studies to work in ToS and keep getting a pop-up error message stating I don't have "permissions for study filters"

Here is a snip:

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've have tried using several of the shared studies with the exact same result. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Per ToS support:
Study and Pattern Filters do not work on the Paper Side of the thinkorswim platform. It is a limitation of the Paper Money platform,. You would have to log into the live side of thinkorswim in order to access the Study Filters Scan.

And thank god due to my complaint you can now switch from live to paper and back and forth on weekends when the maint sign covers the buttons. They have just this week made the "Work in progress" sign on the sign in page smaller so that the buttons are now accessible on TOS. I found a secret way to switch from live to paper and back and forth when the maint sign covers those buttons... and here it is but no longer needed.
But its an old windows trick that you may be able to use in the future...
1. Click on blank space on upper part of the black log in screen. Once
2. Tab down 6 x to take the cursor down to the bottom line on the Panel.
3. Now you can use the right and left arrow to switch back and forth between paper and live.

One more thing if the buttons are covered you won't be able to see them switch so if you hit
the left or right arrow it will change to what ever you were not on. In other words if you were live
and you hit the left or right key it will switch like a toggle.
But here is a better way to tell if you are on paper or live..
Look to the very top of the screen where it say "think or swim" and
see a little star burst on the top left.. when live that starburst is blue
it means Live. when its gold you are in paper money.

I know its not important now since they fixed it.. but you can use this little
trick for future windows that get blocked from view.
