Coaches Mailbag: TOS Delta help and Looking up closed Trades

September 5, 2016

The Mailbag is back baby!

I’m going to revive an old series I started at Tackle Trading, called the Morning Mailbag. I’m going to update it to the Coaches Mailbag, since I won’t be doing it every morning. And I might even do it in the afternoon, since you know, I’m in charge of my day and such. Entrepreurship is great for that kind of thing.

This weeks question comes from Jedidiah, regarding Thinkorswim. First, read the question, then watch the video. If you have a question you’d like me to answer in a future edition of this series, post it in the https://tackletrading.com/forums/

Hi Tim,
I recently joined your Monday 6pm (CDT) Trading Lab and just want to let you know I may be few minutes late to each session, as getting home in time is challenging. I plan to watch the recordings as needed to catch what I missed. During this past lab, you asked us to send you a topic we would like to discuss during the next lab. If you prerecord a lab for this Monday (Labor Day) or during the next lab, please touch on the following topic(s), thanks!!

1. How can we quickly assess the overall Delta position/score of our entire TOS account? I currently manually calculate the sum of all the Subtotal Delta values listed on the Position Statement tab for all Groups of option positions I have open but is there a function in TOS that will calculate the sum of all the Delta values automatically, without weighting the Delta against another ticker symbol? Or should we always just evaluate our overall Delta weighted against the SPX?

2. How can we view the details of each options trade in TOS after we close the position? I’m would like to see the same type of details the Position Statement tab lists for each open position but with details for both the trade entry and exit (e.g., entry credit/debit, exit credit/debit, etc.). I’ve looked in the Position and Account Statement tabs but can’t find anything that will provide the type of information shown on the Position Statement for both the trade entry and exit.

I watched all your YouTube TOS videos (which were very helpful) but I don’t recall the above topics being discussed in those videos.

Have a good weekend, thanks again!
