I'm trying to do equities scalping with several IRAs, and have set up an IB friends and family account. That works ok for distributing the shares amongst several accounts. But the TWS interface is slow (eg adding a new symbol, modifying an order) and doesn't really allow great hot key setups, like i have in my (non IB) primary broker. Any good hot key setups ? Or any good add-ins/ plug-ins? I used bracket trader a few years ago, just wondering if any others have popped up. Before you say "get another broker", pls note that i have another one for my primary trading account, i would just like to be able to trade the IRAs with a bit more precision than i can with TWS.
