third party platforms

Hi,
I'm in the UK and trying out IB. But I was wondering if there is a simple platform available that one can use, in conjunction with IB as the broker, to trade Mini Micro's. Just simple charting and one click orders?

There are many. Www.medvedtrader.com is $20 a month others are more expensive. There is a free version of www.motivewave.com though you have to pay to send orders if you do not like IB TWS for orders. Www.ninjatrader.com www.multicharts.com www.linnsoft.com www.sierrachart.com They all use the free IB datafeed.

Take all the free trials, one at a time, to see what one you like. Let us all know.

Checking first if they will run on an iMac without 'wine' or 'parallels' workarounds.

Pretty sure motivewave is Mac native.

Might be slim pickings in the Mac world.

www.motivewave.com and www.linnsoft.com have Mac native versions as well as IB TWS mosaic.

Thanks everybody. I will check them out.IB charts - I was surprised how user friendly platform was. Push limit order button, line appears on chart, hen pull line down to desired price. Thanks again -plenty of info to get on with.

Yes -impressed. Been playing around with the TWS platform on my iMac ( no workarounds needed).Can get buy/sell/close buttons on bottom left of screen and able to scalp (one minute chart) Micro Mini's quite happily. Simple chart set up for one Micro ( for simple me) and still learning to transition from CFD's and spread betting in the UK to Futures. Because I live in the UK I lean towards Interactive Brokers UK branch. I had tried trading View with AMP which seems okay but, I feel more comfortable with a broker with an office in the UK. Hell of a lot of reading and demo trading to do but it's fun and an eye opener re- the Futures market. And thanks to you guys who wrote in this thread.
I attach a Demo delayed price chart.
