Alrighty then, continue. By the way, that "recent thread" you posted is 6 years old.
You are correct. Sorry, I am trying to research this.
Here is a chart of GOOG. Trend line shows down. I scalped long and had a couple of good entries. I am using a 2 day chart with typical OHLC bars. The bottom is a twiggs money indicator which shows the bottom put in at $636.00; Here the indicator bottoms in the red at $35.00. I find that keeping one chart in the same time frame (for me 10 minute works) for a scalp. The Twiggs indicator is one of the indicators I like, similar to money flow. Also, notice how the pivot point (orange line) is rejected and GOOG sells off the rest of the day.
I will try to post some stuff others can benefit from. As I said I am fairly new to the software. I found that the intraday chart sections
in help useful for some of the more basic items.
Has anyone used the pace indicators?

I use QuoteTracker quite a bit. I do access IB through it and I find it very helpful.
For the historical backfill and the backfill, go into Options -> Data Sources/Proxy. In there pick the 'Backfill' tab and you should see the 'Auto Backfill' options. One for when a symbol is added and one for when a chart is opened. It keeps my charts up-to-date without me hitting anything.
Although you can't really add new graphs for indicators, I do use the PaintBars which helps me. I have on setup for an impulse indicators, similar to Elder's impulse which combines EMA slope and MACD histogram slope and give me one color. It's not new information but visually, it's faster to analyze.
On the IB API front, the only thing I have yet to figure out is how to send Trailing Stop orders. The QT screen only mentions a 'Stop Offset' and IB supports offset is $ or in % so I'm not sure which is used.
I like the product alone because it's independent. I could change all my data sources and change my brokers and still keep the exact same methodology because interface would remain the same.
Prob my first post here, hope it was useful.
I found your post very helpful. I like the idea of the software being separate from the data source and broker. This is a tough concept to get your mind around, at least for me. It seems that most people are using this with an IB data feed.
