IB frowns upon auto-login, but as said above, it can be done.

Does it need to be free to are you willing to pay? Most real-time brokers offer real-time news to subscribers. You can usually turn off all the filters to see all news but you will be overwhelmed.

Don't take my word, just do a search on ET. IB data is unreliable and error-prone.

I would say today's best platform front-end is TradeStation. In fact, multicharts copied it pixel for pixel. TradeStation as a platform has many issues (data and broker reliability), but the look and functionality is near the top of retail platforms.

Other than the symbol currently loaded into a chart, EL cannot access other symbols or their data without the use of third-party DLLs. And even then its a hack.

Be careful, SSO is not included on their collection. See their symbol list. 138 symbols for $500? You can buy 4x the ETF symbols for $160. If you still need the data, PM me and I can send you the 1 symbol you need.
