What IB GUI do you use ?

Hello,

For information :

Bracket Trader 2003 :
www.bracket-trader.com

Futures Trader 2.xx :
www.futures-trader.net

Ninja Trader beta 5.x :
www.ninjatrader.com

Autotrader 1.17 :
www.sling.to/autotrader

Which one do you prefer, and why ?

 

None of these do what I need it to do, so I built my own very simple interface.

I like Ninja's "Strategy Manager" in Order Parameters, one click and everything is set up for your trade.

The Matrix Entry is easy to use, and the Ratio trigger is also a nice feature.

 

TWS, because its stable, flexible, and I can access it on every computer without installing any 3rd party software (aside from SUN Java).

Actually I have programmed my own GUI last year. Spent a lot of time on this project and now I don't use it anymore, because I changed my trading system and I don't have the time to make the necessary enhancements to my GUI.

 

Can any of these programs autospread futures through IB?

I'm looking for a program to do this.

 

I have voted for BT but I use the old one (2.15c).

Had ram problems with the new 2003 version.

 

Does Ninja have a simulation mode?

 

Yes, just press the "SIM" button, it will light up green and you're good to go.

Also, you must have the .NET framework from MS to run the program.
