Watchlists

Great news—watchlists will be moving to Schwab. If you use watchlists in the TD Ameritrade Mobile app, be aware that watchlists that are saved locally on your mobile device will not move to Schwab. Only watchlists that are saved in the app itself will move.

In addition, please be aware that once you are at Schwab, watchlists will not sync between thinkorswim® and Schwab.com or Schwab Mobile. Any change to one requires a manual update to the other in order to keep watchlists aligned.

Market data

Schwab provides real-time streaming quotes free of charge to nonprofessional clients. Here's what else you can expect.

  • There will be no market data changes for traders using the thinkorswim suite of platforms.
  • Nasdaq TotalView (Level 2) quotes are available on thinkorswim, which will be available at Schwab later in 2023.
  • You'll receive quotes from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) for Canadian equities on Schwab.com; thinkorswim users will receive OTC quotes for Canadian equities.
