    Good IB front end for equities day trading

    As mentioned, I use charts, DOM and T&S. As I understand it, buttontrader doesn't have time and sales having looked through the documentation.

    Good IB front end for equities day trading

    Just started trailing Sierra Chart. Still having a feel around the software. But unless I am missing something, you are only able to link charts together, you can't link e.g. a trading DOM to a chart, and that is quite frustrating if true. I have also just requested beta access for medved...

    Good IB front end for equities day trading

    Yea it will be fine for some people, we all want different things out of the software. And for me I don't particularly like the time and sales window, firstly the data feed is really snapshots that occurs every 0.2-0.3s, so sometimes data is aggregated, plus the fact that I cannot see at a...

    Good IB front end for equities day trading

    SC's new data feed? yea that looks like an interesting option, definitely makes it more convenient having the data feed and platform charged in a single payment. IB meant to do snapshots of data not tick by tick, don't know if that has changed, but it does seem (from inferring what you said) you...

    If using watchlists, you can enable quick stock entry (and configure for NYSE and NASDAQ) then you will not have to choose STOCK(SMART) every time. If you are using the newer versions of TWS, you can also use the shortcut key (can't remember if its shift or ctrl enter) after you type in the...

    forums.medvedtraders.com without the 's' i presume. Just looked at that website, looks like it will take a while more before we see a stable product and website!

    Good IB front end for equities day trading

    I use mostly charts, DOM and T&S day trading US equities. I would have considered another broker but I am located in Asia atm so IB seems like the best option for me here. In terms of front end, I can probably get by with TWS but I don't particular like its T&S if I were looking for clues re...

    Interactive brokers needs customized colours on Time and Sales window

    I think all traders could benefit from having this additional functionality in IB. If you vote on http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=2493&sid=8326 that could expedite this request!
