Quote from Xspurt:

Take a look at Sierra Charts for chart trading on IB as it rechecks the data every 5 seconds. eSignal can sure choke up in a fast market while IB runs with the move.

Take a free trial of SC and see what you think. [/B]

Agree with Xspurt, SC is a better choice, platform is cheaper, and with 5 second rechecked data for accurate bar, and you don't need to pay additional data feed. Also SC is much easier to trade with, but be alert, at the beginning, you will feel overwhelmed, because SC has a lot of customized features.

I am setting up my IB account as it has just been funded. I think I am going to start with button trader and multi charts and like the poster above, I want to use TS for research only. Question though about TS. Do I have to open an account with them to use their research features and if so, how much do I have to open with. Don't have much left after opening the IB account.

Also want to know, is it standard practice to use the IB feed for prices? I just want to know what I have to pay extra for with IB. I remember setting up an account years ago and I did pay them for something.....like level 2 pricing or something that sounds like that?
