Execution review
Thinkorswim execution forensics for better exits
Closed-trade review for Thinkorswim traders who want MAE, MFE, exit efficiency, and hold-time context.
Who this page is for
Thinkorswim traders who want cleaner review without rebuilding everything in spreadsheets.
Core problem
A trade can look fine when it closes and still leave a lot of excursion on the table or exit too early.
Why this matters
Forensics should tell you whether the exit was late, early, or just random.
The right review page turns one trade into a pattern instead of an anecdote.
What gets measured gets easier to change on the next session.
What to do first
Look at the closed trades first, not the open ones.
Find the biggest winners and the worst exits.
Separate true stop-outs from early exits and late exits.
What to measure
MAE and MFE
Exit efficiency
Hold time and the share of the move captured
How it helps
