    I can only agree with def. ButtonTrader is offered exclusively to IB-users (so no competition). And both systems TWS and ButtonTrader are used as one environment using features of both systems at the same time as if it were one integrated system.
    So traders use TWS to trade some Options and Bonds and use TWS-charts, and at the same time use ButtonTrader to daytrade fast moving markets (Futures, Stocks, Forex {very soon}) for which they like the ButtonGrids and the advanced strategies, above TWS's BookTrader.
    Just use what fits your trading most, and for about $1 a day you can not say it is expensive to benefit from both environments.

    it would be nice if we could adjust the defualt size in the book trader to scale in and out.
