Schwab Trading Platforms
Trade the way you want on Schwab's desktop, web, and mobile platforms, including the entire thinkorswim® suite coming later in 2023.
What to expect when your account moves to Schwab.
For starters, you won't miss any market hours and most open orders will move to Schwab with you. Order types that will NOT move are conditional orders (also known as advanced orders), trailing stop orders, and direct routed orders. See FAQ about open orders.
Once you create your own unique Schwab login info and your account has moved to Schwab, you can start trading on Schwab's intuitive web, mobile and desktop trading platforms. And the thinkorswim® suite of platforms you already love will be available at Schwab later in 2023. You will no longer have access to tdameritrade.com and the TD Ameritrade Mobile app.

Your platforms. Your trading strategy. Your way.
Whether you use thinkorswim, Schwab website, or the Schwab Mobile app, you'll find what you need to trade and manage your account.
