While25 is software. It is not a broker, dealer, exchange or investment adviser, and nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument. Orders you place route to your own brokerage account; While25 never holds funds or securities.

Trading carries risk of loss, including losses greater than your deposit on leveraged products. Backtests and simulations do not predict future returns. Broker and exchange names are trademarks of their owners. We plan to add Coinbase, Binance and Robinhood; you cannot connect them yet.

COMPARISON

While25 vs thinkorswim, for traders who want an open environment.

thinkorswim is a serious desktop platform, and thinkScript lets you customize studies inside it. But it is one broker’s closed world: their language, their sandbox, their account. While25 is the open version of that idea, a real Python development environment, and a platform that connects to the broker you choose.

WHILE25THINKORSWIM
