Decent charting software to use with IB

I forgot the info

http://www.atrader.demon.co.uk

Its now free and has decent IB charts.

 

Yes, thanks everyone. Good thread.

 

Im testing quant edge chart - http://www.quant-edge.com

It is still in the beta mode but charting with IB data seems to be quite good

 

I have tried QT and ATrader, it seems to be too primitive, not too many indicators and tools.

Any one has tried Quant Station? Any comments?

 

I just downloaded and tried out QuantStation - very, very primitive in my opinion. Nice charts but no custom indicators, etc. NinjaTrader is far better.

For me, the order goes (in terms of price):

- NinjaTrader - free for simulated account.
- Amibroker - works great for me
- Quotetracker - free, lotta nice features.

 

Sierrachart http://www.sierrachart.com

It takes few days to get used to. It has tons of features including DOM and chart trading. It can be programed using c++. Low cost.

 

Hi,

http://www.atrader.org


The charts are shareware, if you are using it just register it after the initial 31 days. $49.


This of course works with IB and is fully integrated with historical and download data.

The program is written by me and is purely based on what i use to trade. Consequently there are limited indicators (becuase i dont need them).

Hope this helps.

Rgs,

Atrader.

 

You can also give TradeProject a try (http://www.tradeproject.de/Start.23.0.html?&L=1). It also offers DOM and Chart-trading as well as running automated Strategies (with an IB account). Maybe it comes not with so many features as the others, but it is free – and I can add new functions if you have any special wishes

Good Trades to all,
Daniel

 

If you only need a charting tool and not a front end for your trades, I highly recommend Ensign.
It has the same Fibonacci tools like eSignal that I haven't found elsewhere. And I need them for my trading.
Also $40 a month is great price for what you get.

If you want to integrate your IB account into your software I'd recommend SierraChart.

Not a charting tool but a great front end for IB is ButtonTrader.
It's a great tool for managing your open positions.
However they bill you in Euro currency. The cheapest is €27 per month.

I did some testing with ChartTrader and it works quite nice. I think they recently made some improvements.
