Which trading platform does intermediate well with excellent charting?

  1. It seems that Webush supports Rithmic. If so, then the clients with those Rithmic accounts should be able to use Medved Trader. Setup instructions at https://medvedtrader.com/rithmic - one thing to note: if having problems connecting, make sure Medved Trader is whitelisted by the broker. Have seem some situations where apps had to be explicitly whitelisted

    Medved Trader can handle that easily. As for change charts - though not the default, still pretty easy to do. MT charts the change when you have 2 or more symbols on the chart. To have it do it with a single symbol, just add a dummy symbol to the chart, such as DUMMY. It will not have data so will not add any line, but will trigger the switch to change % charting which you can change via right click on the Y Axis.

    By default the anchor point from which the change is computed is the left side of the visible portion of the chart, though you can easily drag it or set it to a specific point on the chart.

    ThinkorSwim is the best hands down. Although I trade with a futures IB, I refuse to use their subpar charting platforms.

    Thankfully, Schwab didn't tamper with ToS during its acquisition of TDAmeritrade.

  3. Can you set up autotrading bots with Lightspeed using technical analysis and developing strategies, etc or is it all manual?

    Hi LiquidMike- We offer the follow trading platforms with APIs. Lightspeed Trader, Sterling Trader Pro, EZE EMS (Realtick) and CBOE Silexx. Sometime early summer, we will offer Lightspeed Connect, our version of https://www.atreyutrading.com/. Only Realtick will provide streaming Market Data to the API and your technical analysis will need to be done on your server with your market data. I'd be happy to email you directly a better summary of them and access to sample code, if you email me directly (Not a private message).
