Need software recommendation for IB

[Kamstar]

TWS Charts are basic. If you are doing technical analysis, I do not think it's enough, but otherwise it should be sufficient once you get the hang of it.

TWS Screener is pretty weak. Can only search based on a few criteria. There might be some better ones out there. Something like 'GuruFocus' has a more extensive list of criteria to filter upon.

TWS Option tools are pretty good. Not sure what you are doing (perhaps something very advanced?). But there are many different options tools included, so it might be worthwhile to spend a day or two forcing yourself to try them out and learn them before deciding it's not sufficient.

Thank you, I will check out guru. im not doing anything fancy just equities/options. I have everything set up, but like you said i find the charts too basic, no ticker chart, slow and sluggish. Ill keep looking I’ve tried 10 demos already lol.

Hello everyone, I would like some recommendations on software from you pros to a young grasshopper. I'm using interactive brokers and the software is horrible. I'm looking for something with nice charts, a good scanner, options chain, and maybe some BUY/SELL strategies integrated in. Also looking for data feed so if theres any offering free software I'd also be interested in that! If someone can give me some options I'd greatly appreciate it, I will download some demos and check them out! Happy trading!

Make your own with python. There is plenty of free source code at github.
