It was cumberson to place trades, but the new matrix platform looks much, much better. Now I use buttontrader, a frontend for IB.
Check out TahoeCharts using the IB real time datafeed and eSignal as a backfill source for charts here: http://www.tahoecharts.com Free trial till April 30th. Easy to use, advanced charts and drawing tools. Chuck @TahoeCharts
Does Tradestation offer real time tick charts on the e-mini and big S&P's,and if so,how much extra is it a month?
Chuck , did you see my message on yahoogroups. Very disapointed with the service, I thought tahoe was going to be a great addition.
Nasdaqtrader - Yes, realtime tick charts are part of the charting package at no extra cost. Exchange fees are extra, but that's it.
roberk, A new beta will be available soon to help with the IB connection issues some are seeing. Plus Patssystem J-TRADER version coming soon. Chuck
