AHK Driving ThinkorSwim

[MrBruceKA]

Using Win/10, with latest download of AHK.

I want to use AHK to do some work driving TD America ThinkorSwim desktop Trading Platform.
I made sure both AHK & TOS have Admin privs, it appears AHK doesn't drive TOS.

I have only three lines of AHK code:

WinActivate Main@thinkorswim [build 1961] ahk_class SunAwtFrame
Click, Left, 1259 ,53
Sleep 2000

When I personally click this spot in TOS, a drop-down menu will appear. Then I can select the function i want, but i don't get anything when AHK is run.
I got the WinActivate parameters from WindowSpy.ahk and I made sure I was on the TOS active window for them.

Please give me some direction on my problem.
Thanks, Bruce

You might try a second click.

Hopefully you aren't putting thousands on the line with an ahk script. If you are, hire me. I am familiar with ThinkorSwim.

Thanks, I'll try in it the morning. I hope it works.

PS: Selling Vertical Options is Very, Very, profitable these days.

No change is connecting AHK to ThinkOrSwim(TOS) application.

I tries this code, but nothing happens. When I personally click this spot a down-down menu appears. that is what I want to happen, but I can not figure out how to get TOS to respond.

WinActivate Main@thinkorswim [build 1961] ahk_class SunAwtFrame
Click, Left, 1259 ,53
Sleep 500
Click, Left, 1259 ,53
Sleep 2000
Exit

You might try mousemove to ensure that those cords are what you think they are.

Code: Select all

MouseMove, 1259, 53
Send {Click}

@MrBruceKA , may you please share some experience on how we can use AHK on Options in Thinkorswim please?

Is it possible to use AHK to auto trade Options on Thinkorswim?
