    I'm looking for a good charting and reliable stock options charting platform like TOS looks like but a reliable one(TOS is unreliable, always lagging in quotes for me and not functioning charting wise when i really needs it especially when market volatility is high). I don't want to trade on the platform just use it for charting(i do my trades through IB) and i'm willing to pay for a good platform.

    Tricky part is going to be data. I believe IB throttles data requests pretty hard. Know for instance AMibroker is limited to 200 RT streaming from IB. Since each option contract is a symbol, cap gets hit quickly.

    So any 3rd party software is going to suck with IB data. IQFeed going to run 100+$ for 500 symbols which isn’t getting far with options either.

    Probably going to have to look a brokerage platform since your not pulling a bunch of RT data from them to a 3rd party source.

    Not looking for 3rd party. I don't mind to open new account and finance it but i won't trade there as i prefer to have my trading with IB

    Use www.tradingview.com for charts and execute on IB. TradingView is the 320th busiest website in the world. I guess all the crypto traders use it.

    Try www.esignal.com then. It can also send orders to IB.
