Hi, I am a full time trader. Motivewave is ok, you can set it up with IB. It is not veyr fast but it's stable. If you don't need a very fast execution it will be fine. I trade futures, it should be ok for stocks also.
Interactive Broker with tradestation is awful. I am an independent trader with 7+ years of experience, if you are an intraday trader you need something stable and very fast. IB is not! If you are a swing trader or someone trading for a hobby, or an investor then go for it. Someone mentioned...
