I would say.... E-signal considering the "software" is free... But the service is not so it might not be something you're looking for...

I'd say...

Free historical data with a free C ( Java ) compiler???

ROTFLMAO! The first time I've ever used that net abbrev, and I've been online since I was happy to have a 110 baud modem.

...just trying to get the point across that ES and IB is a great combination fo' a po' boy trader. Maybe even not so po'. Will be even better when ES gets internal automated trading to IB. I love the hell out of ES because the code looks like CODE.

If you're looking for cheap, try Sierra. I've been using it for more than a year and couldn't be happier. And it's only $80/yr.
