 Hey everyone, welcome to another video lesson from navigationtrading.com. In this video I want to teach you how to use the toolbar in Thinkorswim. So I've been getting a lot of questions from members about how to do this because they'll see my charts and they'll see this toolbar up top here. So to start with what I'm using this for are different styles of charts. So you can see kind of my go-to is looking at a three month chart on the daily timeframe which is what this is. Sometimes I like to look at it as a one-year timeframe on the daily charts. If I want to check out what's going on intraday I've got a two-day five minute so I can just get a quick glimpse of what's going on intraday. I've also got a year-to-date percentage so if I want to see a year-to-date I'm looking at SPX. SPX is up 24.72% year-to-date so I'll give it as a percentage as opposed to the price. Sometimes I like to look at the weekly expected move so it'll just plot these lines and give me an idea of what the expected move is for that particular symbol coming into the next week. So what all these are these are considered styles. So if I have this chart layout I've got the implied volatility indicator I've got just a nine-day exponential moving average on here no better reason but just to see kind of the short-term trend of what the market's doing. So whatever you want on your chart you can set up and then you can save that as a style and all you do is go to this little button here click style save style and then you can name it whatever you want and you check the box include patterns and study set and hit save. I've already got saved so I'm not going to do that here. You can save any style of chart that you want and then what you can do to actually have those as a quick reference in a toolbar up here is you can add those to the toolbar. Now how you do that is you want to go to this little settings wheel right here click on that and by default thinkorswim has this turned off. So what you want to do is you want to click on each chart hit apply hit OK and then that will populate. And so I also have this pinned so if you unpin it it can disappear and then when you hover over it'll appear it's not doing it right now for some reason but typically what happens so what I like to do is I like to pin that and then what you can do to add different styles or different variations is just go over to this settings wheel right here click on that button it'll highlight those and then you can you know change the name of them you can change the button action you can delete the button whatever you want most likely what you'll do to begin with is just add buttons so if you want to add a button and let's say there's some specific drawing tools that you want to always use you can add those if you're a Fibonacci person or if you want to draw ovals or arrows or texts or whatever you want you can have those drawing tools available you can add a specific study that's included our navigation IV indicator or some other study you see here a study set you know you can look at different study sets that you've already added or as I just mentioned what I use this for is just the styles and so I save my charts in different styles I like to keep it very simple so I just have a few that I use the ones that I just showed you and so you can have those styles there so you can add a button for any of those and then those will appear right here for quick reference once you hit done and you add the specific styles or study sets that you want then you can simply click between them very easily and makes a little more efficient from a time perspective you can also save this to look at multiple charts or multiple symbols at a time so for example you click on this multi chart button here and then if you go up here and you said okay I want to look at four different symbols at one time populate that you could type in okay I've got SPX you could type in let's say RUT here you could type in NDX so you're looking at the rut the NASDAQ and the S&P maybe the Dow DIA so you can take a look at different charts at the same time I prefer to typically just look at one at a time and so that's how I have my chart set up but you can save really any study set any variation of kind of a chart display that you want and then have those set up right here for easy access I hope this was a helpful little trade hack for your thinkorswim charts if you have any questions let us know
