    if you are primarily using time based charts then you can try tradingview...
    If you have a CQG futures account(with any broker) you can connect your account from within tradingview and trade at no additional cost ...

    pros:
    they have best web based charting
    dom trading is quite good ...
    trading from charts is also good.

    con:
    no tick chart
    no volume chart
    no range chart

    they do support renko with wicks if that is any consolation

    I have used MC.NET with Rithimic feed in the past and find it pretty good.
    The only complain I have is the quote manager which is useless and should be removed.
    Also they need a UI refresh ..a little old to my taste.
    I wanted a specific feature which was missing and I contacted their support they said it will be available in next major release and there is no time frame they can promise and that was 6 months ago.

    That is 8 charts in a single layout ...u can have any number of charts as long as u open one per tab ...

    What I suggested above requires a free tradingview account only

    Tradingview free version has three nag screens that you have to constantly clear making it unusable for anything but casual use.

    Your broker does not seem to have the low cost cqg qtrader or tt. You are limited to what your broker supplies http://ironbeam.com/trading-platforms You may have to change brokers.

    Sierrachart is so far ahead of whatever is in second place that's it's ridiculous. There is nothing it can't do if you learn to write C++ code.

  10. Update, FWIW.....

    Still can't run IB's TWS on my 24" secondary monitors. Will run on any single monitor + 2x, 20" monitors. Tried swapping out computers, monitors, video cards, cables, drives... no joy. Just seems to not like my 24's. Tired of wrestling with it... will just have to make other plans. :(
