Hi everyone! I would like to try automated trading, is that Interactive brokers is the best choice out there? What trading software is the most popular with IB's API?

Yes, I know one of the ways is writing my own program and can be excel base. I prefer using a trading software to save sometimes.

I have tried Metastock but seem like it is hard to work with IB and it doesn't work well with muti time frame analysis.

Metastock is great for charting (i used it before switching to Sierra) but they have really dropped the ball in recent years by not adding any significant new features and completely ignoring autotrading.
