I'm glad you got your issue resolved with them (plural). Care to give us more of the details? - I don't use IB currently, but it most definitely is a consideration for the future (trade futs only). Regards, Jimmy J
That's an easy one. Just sign up with NinjaTrader, or Booktrader or Buttontrader and you can paper trade to your hearts content (point in fact, you shouldn't be trading real money until you've established the psychological framework for trading). Good trading, JJ

I took a few years off from trading. I am starting up a new trading account with IB. I have downloaded the free quotetracker to try out. Until my account is up and open with IB and I am ready to start trading I have no data/market feed. When the account is open I will likely get data from IB. I would like to paper trade for a bit until I am ready to go. Is there a place I can get free realtime or delayed data for quotetracker until then? Who are you using for data?

I found out than rather than view the two eminis in the same graph I could make a portfolio, long YM short NQ eg. and watch the chart for this portfolio, including all the bellsandwhistles for TA. That was rather nice, I thought. Ursa..
Used QT for years, love it. Recently started running Metatrader4 alongside for one reason, intraday data >10 days. Also, MT4 pops up a lot quicker than IB TWS > Security key/code calculator > QT, but that's not QT's fault.
