If I have someone write code that would execute my trades, I can't seem to figure out like "where" to go to put this code. Like where do you "put" the code to actually run it on your account, you know what I mean?

eferggbd,

I am assuming you mean executing orders via a programmed strategy.

The language for that in TOS is called "ThinkSCript". These is a full section about it in the TOS learning center under the "Reference" section. Can't add links here, but you can search for TOS learning center.

There is a good explanation on how this language is used for Studies and Startegies. However, these is no automated trading in TOS. You can only use a study to place a conditional order once. Hope this helps.
