DaveN - Yes. I am aware of the 1 second thing with the feed, however, my charting needs are very basic. To give you an idea how basic.....I comfortably make due with Live Charts from Lycos for $10.00 a month! I would like to use the IB feed as a chart alternative for when Live Charts is...

Is there any software available that will use IB's futures datastream to construct intra-day charts?

Thanks for the help. I have been using klac/amat/msft/ as a nas trading proxy for the most part (or going off my insight machine for stocks making highs/lows) , but I know I should look for a more appropriate substitute. That topology chart is great. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Does anyone know which stocks track the Nas futures the best? The ones which have the highest correlation? I am looking for alternatives to trading the Futures and the QQQ's. I work at a prop firm and I not able to trade the futures. The QQQ's are my best alternative, except that I can...
