How is IB's charting?

Please tell me for day trading and scalping only purposes how you view IB's charting capabilities?

Thanks -

 

Fine - if you don't use it.

Use Quotetracker charts w/ ib data instead.

 

NinjaTrader charting is very good..and you can trade off the charts.

 

none but also bad. forget it.

 

bad, slow, hard to use. Don't use it. QT is a better choice. Only it supports only 2 days of intraday and 6 month for daily. If you are using 3 min charts, you won't see a SMA 200 until later in the day.

 

Its terrible, don't use it. Purchase/lease 3rd party software if you want to use charts.

 

Use quotetracker, and pay 60 usd a year and you can see 10 days of intraday data. It's great software.

 

Sierra Chart (my preference)

and

Ensign Software

give higher functionality alternatives to IB charting and quotetracker at a slightly higher price.

 

I agree with kiwi_trader, Sierra Chart is an exceptional value.

 

I have a question...I'm also using IB. Above the cost of Quotetracker, do I have to pay extra for forex data subscribtion from IB? and Is it easy to set up?

I'm new with forex. I usually use metastocks and esignal for stocks. Never use quotetracker before.
