As part of its continued integration of thinkorswim, Group Inc., TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: AMTD) has increased access to MyTrade, a free social media web site.
Fully-integrated with popular social media communities, MyTrade users can easily discuss strategies, learn and blog with other users, Twitter followers or Facebook friends.
In addition to serving as a forum for interactive communication for the trader community, MyTrade features thinkShare, an innovative idea generation functionality that allows members to share strategies and even specific trades. TD AMERITRADE clients that are MyTrade users can instantly publish their real-time trade orders with a single mouse click, allowing other users to view the order. Those users can then analyze the trade, and decide if makes sense to utilize within their own accounts.
"Active traders today demand a platform, like thinkorswim from TD AMERITRADE, that has high powered trading tools. They also want access to social media options that are easy-to-use and understand. MyTrade with thinkShare offers our clients the ability to communicate easily between themselves, sharing their individual opinions, strategies and even real-time trades, giving them another source of ideas in today's rapidly changing markets," said Tom Sosnoff, senior vice president of TD AMERITRADE's Trader Group. "We remain committed to leading the industry with useful, integrated trading technology, and making it available to the growing active trader market." TD AMERITRADE continues to look for ways to integrate thinkorswim technology with its existing offerings.
Clients can access MyTrade with thinkShare through the thinkorswim from TD AMERITRADE trading platform, available for download by logging into their TD AMERITRADE accounts and clicking on the "Learn More and Get Started" icon on the secure homepage.
