  1. Twinky - you can manage your IB orders via QuoteTracker or eSignal... QuoteTracker also allows you to manager TradeFreedom orders..

  2. Try a Google search. There are lots of them. Also try a search here. There are hundreds of posts describing the good and bad points for all the major front-ends.

    If you're actually serious, and you're in Canada, and you're not looking for a prop deal, you'll be with IB soon enough.

    Slowly bt surely... :)

    Like i said, its appears like IB is the way to go, but a front end is now the next step.

  5. I think your first worry should be, can you make a consistant profit....IB will be sufficient to test any of your methods whether it be with real money or simulated trading.

    Can you be more specific.
    What exactly do you want the front end to do.

    I've tried TF QT and a couple of the Banks and IB is by far the best. The only drawback is no Registered accounts.

    IBs Canadian customer service seems to be way better than the US counterpart. I've rarely had to contact them but have never had any problem when i did.

    Interactive Brokers is pretty good. Fast and good commissions.


    Couple draw backs:

    No RRSP accounts

    If trading you might want front end to it (Bracket Trader).

    If you want good graphs then use QuoteTracker with it.
