Best simple software for IB data

What's the best and most inexpensive charting software that can use IB data? I only use price action so I don't need anything fancy, and I could use the IB charts but the java slows down the computer big time. Any suggestions?
 
Agreed! If you don't need to "create" indicators, etc., I would agree that QuoteTracker is your best bet and you get some of the best support of any software.
 
Just to clarify, MEDVED Quote Tracker is free. Paying $60/year is optional.

What do you get for paying $60/yr?

- No banner ads.
- Up to 10 days intraday historical instead of only 2 days in the free version.
- Up to 1 year Daily Historical Data instead of only 6 months in the free version.

ensign also works well. $40/month

i was originally having some data issues with it, but if you can manage to throw everything you need onto 1 layout, rather than separate them across multiple pages it works fine.
 
Quote from Cdntrader:

If you use another feed such as prophet or yhoo for the free historical data, there's like 30 yrs of daily bars.

Very true. I should have said up to 1 year with IB's historical backfill feed.
 
NinjaTrader Simulation Edition which includes charts is free for IB.
 
Ok thanks guys... I'm trying Quotetracker out right now. Just a few questions about it. How can I make the candles very large so I can see them even if the window with the chart is very small? Also, how do I bring up futures like the russell and crude with IB data on Medved?

Thanks
