Decent charting software to use with IB

Im testing quant edge chart - http://www.quant-edge.com
It is still in the beta mode but charting with IB data seems to be quite good

I just downloaded and tried out QuantStation - very, very primitive in my opinion. Nice charts but no custom indicators, etc. NinjaTrader is far better.
For me, the order goes (in terms of price):
- NinjaTrader - free for simulated account.
- Amibroker - works great for me
- Quotetracker - free, lotta nice features.

It takes few days to get used to. It has tons of features including DOM and chart trading. It can be programed using c++. Low cost.

Hi,
http://www.atrader.org
The charts are shareware, if you are using it just register it after the initial 31 days. $49.
This of course works with IB and is fully integrated with historical and download data.
The program is written by me and is purely based on what i use to trade. Consequently there are limited indicators (becuase i dont need them).
Hope this helps.

You can also give TradeProject a try (http://www.tradeproject.de/Start.23.0.html?&L=1). It also offers DOM and Chart-trading as well as running automated Strategies (with an IB account). Maybe it comes not with so many features as the others, but it is free â and I can add new functions if you have any special wishes 
Good Trades to all,

If you only need a charting tool and not a front end for your trades, I highly recommend Ensign.
It has the same Fibonacci tools like eSignal that I haven't found elsewhere. And I need them for my trading.
Also $40 a month is great price for what you get.
If you want to integrate your IB account into your software I'd recommend SierraChart.
Not a charting tool but a great front end for IB is ButtonTrader.
It's a great tool for managing your open positions.
However they bill you in Euro currency. The cheapest is â¬27 per month.
