How to Install Indicators, Scans & Watchlist Columns in ThinkOrSwim

This video will show you exactly how to install indicators, scans, and custom watchlist quote columns in thinkorswim. There are actually 3-4 different ways to install thinkScript code, and this ThinkOrSwim tutorial walks you through 3 of them. The fourth way is to just click a “shared item” link and it will install automatically. I figured that one was easy enough to not need an explanation :-).

You can also view the tutorial video on YouTube.

Download the ThinkOrSwim Platform by Schwab for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux

I’ve noticed before that sometimes Schwab makes it really hard to find where to download ThinkOrSwim. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been at a new computer somewhere, wanting to trade or program something, and had to go search around the ThinkOrSwim website for what seems like a completely unreasonable amount of time to find the download link. So I finally decided to help myself and my fellow swimmers out by posting the direct links here on an easy-to-access page that can be easily bookmarked too, if needed frequently. So without further ado, here are the ThinkOrSwim download links:

Main page: https://www.schwab.com/trading/thinkorswim/download

Windows 11 or later: https://tosmediaserver.schwab.com/installer/InstFiles/thinkorswim_x64_installer.exe

Mac OS: https://tosmediaserver.schwab.com/installer/InstFiles/thinkorswim_installer.dmg

Linux: https://tosmediaserver.schwab.com/installer/InstFiles/thinkorswim_installer.sh

All other OS users: https://tosmediaserver.schwab.com/installer/InstFiles/thinkorswim.zip

Once you complete the download and launch the installer, here’s a quick final thought on installation options. If it makes sense in your situation, I would definitely suggest choosing the option to “install for all users,” especially if you plan to share or install any thinkScripts in the future. The ThinkOrSwim platform’s sharing links don’t really work as well unless the platform is installed for all users of the computer.
