Plenty of software for the TWS API.
NinjaTrader and ButtonTrader are just two of the commercial apps.
TradeProject http://www.tradeproject.de/ and JBookTrader http://code.google.com/p/jbooktrader/ are just two of the apps written by individuals.
And there is the Yahoo group on the TWS API http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/TWSAPI/

Tradelink use to have atrocious delays in real time execution. Is that still the case?
Sierra Chart works great for automated trading and supports custom programming as well. I've used it for over 2 years so far with different automated strategies and it is very flexible and reliable once you learn how to use it. No complaints other than sometimes the pre-releases and occasionally new release versions break existing functionality so it is best to test versions extensively before using live. Their support board is a great resource as well.
