Looks cool, simplified tradeingview, but TWS is much faster I feel.

IB's software

People are saying now that TWS is great after calling it a piece of garbage for years. Imagine how that new "desktop" version has to be.

They don't have a version for Linux, by the way.

TWS is not garbage, it's charting is, but the rest is powerful. What did you expect? It's meant for investing portfolio style not trading.

I tried the Windows version on a VM and it looks ok, I didn't have issues. They added Trading View charts to the main screen and it is responding quite well. They throw at you a big disclaimer saying that is for retail trading, but I don't see why they would like to keep torturing pros with TWS, they should move everything to this version. We'll see.

Could have been my computer. Others aren't having the same problem.
