These casual bi-weekly classes are held in the thinkorswim corporate headquarters and taught by a rotation of senior industry experts and guest speakers. Topics vary with each speaker to give you a wide range of trading approaches and opinions. These informal sessions are a great forum to ask questions and see how we use the thinkorswim software, as well as kick the tires and get to know us a little better. Class size is limited to the seating capacity of our in-house classroom, so move quickly to reserve a seat.

If you are looking to learn more about the thinkorswim trading platform, you won't be disappointed. While this isn't a class on the software, we will be using it to demonstrate all we discuss. If you are not already trading on the thinkorswim platform, we recommend you download the free software trial from www.thinkorswim.com before attending.
