trading thru IB using Medved QT

Quote from taodr:

Quotetracker is excellent with IB. Of course once you have it set up right and support is A1.

Does TWS have decent realtime intraday charting of ES, etc that I could use instead of having to use QT (or E-Signal, QCharts...)? If so, what is the main advantage of QT over TWS' charting?

I am setting up a new broker/software combination and am leaning towards trading through IB using the Medved Quotetracker direct access interface for my charting/integrated trading.

Also, will I still need 2 screens - one for IB TWS (broker) and one for QT (charting)? Or can I get away with just the one screen using this set-up?

I've read thru the setup instructions at http://www.quotetracker.com/help/ib.shtml and it seems you have to start TWS first and then start up QT on a separate screen.

Any better set-ups for my needs?

Thanks for any help.

After you start IB, couldn't you just minimize it (the IB Order Management Screen)? Then it wouldn't take up any screen space at all, and all you'd see is QT....

(To J. Medved: Speaking of 'meds', are you hooked up to a Red Bull I.V. or what??! This board, your own board, replies to e-mails, QT programming updates/upgrades and integrations, data supplier and sponsor schmoozing, etc. --wow. You are an incredible man! Wish I had a tenth of your energy and ambition :) )
