We are committed to adding new features and enhancements to empower your investment decisions.

As we constantly work on enhancements to empower you with innovative resources and capabilities, there are some features that were available to you on TOS that will not be readily available to you at the launch of TD Active Trader.

These features include:

Feature

Description

Charts and Studies

While TOS has 400+ charts and studies; TD Active Trader will launch with about 100 charts and studies – we plan to expand this list in an upcoming release.

Direct Routing of Orders

On TOS, you have the ability to choose direct routing; on TD Active Trader you cannot specify your route and your orders may be re-routed as needed.

Order Scrutiny

Although most orders placed on TD Active Trader will process straight-through, some would require a trade review to assess risk management.

Scripting Language – ThinkScript

ThinkScript will not be available for TD Active Trader. ​ New scripting language will be available, and you will not be able to migrate ThinkScript.

Order Rule Types

TD Active Trader will not support complex order rules at launch. 

Live-Streaming 

CNBC Live tv streaming will not be available in TD Active Trader at launch.

Missing Tools 

The following trading tools are available in TOS, but are not currently available in TD Active Trader:

  • Probability analysis tools missing, thinkBack tool, OnDemand tool
  • Fred database – economic database
  • Some Screeners – spread book screener, spread hacker

Public Chat Room

Public chat rooms allow you to analyze and share with other pro-level traders. 

We are committed to improving and will continue to invest in new enhancements to evolve TD Active Trader based on your feedback. 

TD Active Trader and thinkorswim (TOS) may show a different "Trade Price" (per share) for your positions because when migrating this data, we used the "book value" from our Book of Record vs from the thinkorswim platform and divided this by the quantity of shares you own. Our Book of Record follows the CRA-approved methodology of Weighted Average Price per Share. This allowed many positions that may have been showing as a "blank" or $0 "Trade Price" on thinkorswim to be corrected based on our records and therefore may impact your overall Profit/Loss showing on TD Active Trader due to the corrected/updated data. 

However, going forward, TD Active Trader will continue to follow the same methodology as thinkorswim (TOS) regarding your "Trade Price". This is the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method that thinkorswim has always followed. Migrated positions previously purchased in multiple lots will be considered as one position at the updated "Trade Price" and any new positions created will be captured at their respective purchase prices. 

Although we have made every attempt to link your accounts in the same manner they were on the thinkorswim platform, when you first start using TD Active Trader, some of your linked accounts may not be visible or may have been removed.

Follow these steps to view all your linked accounts:

  1. Click on the account option in top right corner of your screen.
  2. A dropdown will appear which will display all your linked accounts.
  3. If there are any missing accounts call us at 1-877-348-6722 and we will be happy to assist you

You can view your account balances from the account overview, found in the top right corner of your screen.

To see additional balances not displayed in the account overview, follow these instructions:

  1. Log in to TD Active Trader > TD Active Trader.
  2. Click on any of the balances shown in the top right corner of your TD Active Trader window (ex. Cash, Buying Power, Net Liq or Day P/L).

A dropdown window details additional balances, including Net Liquidation, Buying Power, Cash, Total Market Value, Stock Market Value Long, Stock Market Value Short, Option Market Value Long, Option Market Value Short, Est. Portfolio Cost, Open P/L, Day P/L, YTD P/L, and Commission YTD.

Some deposits added to your account balance may remain unavailable for a short period. The reason is that a cheque is not same as cash – it is a promise to pay by one party to another party. If the first party doesn't have sufficient funds in their account at another financial institution, or if the cheque or instrument is fraudulent, the other financial institution can refuse to pay return the cheque unpaid to us.

A hold period allows sufficient time for us to verify that funds will be available to pay the item.

TD Direct Investing will consider funds as uncleared until:

1.       7 consecutive business days (not including the deposit date) have passed if the cheques, denominated in CAD or USD, is drawn on a Canadian Financial Institution.

2.       21 consecutive business days (not including the deposit date) have passed if the cheques, is drawn on a U.S. financial institution.
