There is vendor here called PTMC that launched a pretty solid platform that might be a good choice for budget conscious retail traders. Since you are starting, most trading tech can be demoed for 30 days. You can then pick the stack that fits you best. Here is their link https://protrader.com/platform/windows.
For trading journal software, you can try our product at www.trademetria.com
Oh I forgot about that one, I meant to check that out thanks. Does your trading journal software also work for a papertrading IB account? That seems like it could come in handy.
I tried PTMC but their vwap is like IB's vwap it goes bar to bar, I don't really know how to explain the difference but I sent them a screenshot and they didn't really seem that interested in the issue. All the other programs I used seem to have the expected vwap like ninjatrader, amibroker, tradingview.com
medved trader seems interesting, I get the premium version free since I also have an ally account. The beta also has a scanner where you can edit the scans with custom code. The charts have a vwap that very close to the vwap on tradingview.com which I really like. I received fast replies from support as well even on a saturday.
so....am i missing some flaw to this product that people don't seem to be talking about it more?
