     This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-8 of thinkorswim Group Inc. (the “Company”):

     File No. 333-118330, pertaining to the registration of 500,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share of the Company (“Common Stock”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and effective on August 18, 2004 (the “Registration Statement”).

     On January 8, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation (“Parent”), Tango Acquisition Corporation One (“Merger Sub One”) and Tango Acquisition Corporation Two (“Merger Sub Two”). The Agreement contemplated that Merger Sub One would be merged with and into the Company (the “First Step Merger”) and that the Company would survive the First Step Merger. Immediately following the First Step Merger, the Company was to merge with and into Merger Sub Two (the “Second Step Merger” and, taken together with the First Step Merger, the “Merger”). The Merger became effective on June 11, 2009 (the “Effective Date”) as a result of filing a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

     As of the Effective Date, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was cancelled and (other than the shares held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Parent or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or the Company or held by stockholders who properly exercised dissenters’ appraisal rights under Delaware law) converted into the right to receive $3.34 in cash, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, and 0.3980 of a share of Parent common stock.

     As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. The Company hereby removes from registration the securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
