Is there any charting software that properly works with IB spread/combo orders.

CQG or TT will do it but you have to change brokers.

Thanks for reply, but right now I am not planning to change IB for any other broker. I'll write to eSignal support and check if they are able to properly execute spread/combo orders for IB.

You are welcome. Stick with what works best for you.

Surely if you have a DOM from iqfeed you can still send the order to IB from within the application so you do not have to use TWS? Ninjatrader, motivewave, and Investor RT are also possibilities.

It depends on the type of product you want to trade. As far as I understood every charting software has no problems sending orders from DOM to IB for outright futures, but pretty much none of them will send future combo/spread orders to IB. although those combos are listed/traded directly on exchanges and should trade like any other futures contract.

You should check CQG and TT though it does require a new broker. I am pretty sure they will give you DOM for the spread and the ability to send a spread order.
