Is there a good alternative to Quotetracker ?

Hello,
I am in the process of trialing software and was wondering if there is a good alternative to quotetracker ? I like alot of what quote tracker has to offer with the floating windows and a simple no frills interface (no programming required). However i am slightly uncomfortable with the whole leased aspect of it. Is there anything out there that offers similar functionality as quotetracker which could be purchased ?
The closest i've found so far would be amibroker. This however is not as suitable for daytrading (sans floating windows and too many unnecessary options)
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

I've tried just about every trading platform out there. Ensign and Amibroker are the best I could find. I quit Ensign because once I configured Amibroker, I didn't need Ensign anymore.
BTW, I use Amibroker to successfully day-trade the US bond futures every day on a 1 minute bar. I don't see any floating window problems or too many unnecessary options. Strange point you make there.
If you want the best use CQG http://www.cqg.com/ No data issues, no lags.
If your trading leveraged futures, use the best, it will save you frustrations.
How ever if your just getting started and just trade a few hundred shares of some stock, skip it, just use QT,Ensign.
But when accuracy and precision entry and exit is a must, use CQG.
Here is a price list.

Maran looks good, but very buggy, and looks like it's in the early stages of development.
Amibroker looks very good except for a couple of features that don't work. If these are taken care of, then it should be a very good option.
Quotetracker looks pretty good for what it does. If it had a scripting language, then it would be pretty complete.
I decided to have a closer look at QuoteTracker, and I can tell you, I'm very impressed.
It does have a scripting language that you can do a heck of a lot with. It does not have the flexibility to do absolutely everything, but it would suite most people's needs.
According to the website, it is now owned by TD Ameritrade. Hopefully this means that it will be further enhanced to make up for any current limitations.
If one has a TD Ameritrade account, then the subscription is free.

WHat Features dont work. I use AB extensively.. Have programmed and adapted quite a few indicators that arent native to AB....
Even the Auto Trading interface works....

Take a monthly chart and draw an extending trendline that touches price at a few points. Switch the same chart down to weekly and then daily. Notice that the trendline does not touch price at the same points on the weekly and daily as it does on the monthly.
Drop $2K into a TD Ameritrade account (whether you trade it or not) and get Quotetracker lifetime subscription free. I never paid for it.. ever. I have used it (albeit with ads and only 2 day backfills), but then just happen to open it one day and find out that TD Ameritrade account holders get it free.

Have you tossed this issue out to the AB community?? Anything that has stumped me, these guys have a solution for....
