Sync Your Success: Linking Your Thinkorswim Watchlist to Charts (Schwab Edition!)

Tired of manually searching for stocks in your Thinkorswim charts after spotting them on your watchlist? Schwab's Thinkorswim platform offers a nifty feature to link your watchlists directly to your charts, streamlining your trading workflow! Here's how to do it:

1. **Open Thinkorswim:** Launch the Thinkorswim platform on your desktop.
2. **Access Your Watchlist:** Ensure your desired watchlist is visible. If not, go to 'Watchlist' under the 'Gadgets' menu and select the watchlist you want to use.
3. **Open a Chart:** Open the chart you want to link to your watchlist.
4. **Link the Gadgets:** Look for the color-coded 'Link' icon (usually a small chain) on BOTH your watchlist and your chart. Click the 'Link' icon on both. Make sure they are both the same color. Select the same color for both the watchlist and the chart from the dropdown menu.
5. **Test it Out!:** Now, click on any symbol in your watchlist. Your chart should automatically update to display the corresponding price data for that symbol.

Enjoy the efficiency of a synced watchlist and chart! This simple trick can save you precious time and help you stay focused on identifying profitable trading opportunities.
