I am opening an account at IB. I have played with their system and I am not a fan of it.

On their website they list some systems that integrate with TWS. The only one recognizable to me is Ninjatrader.

Does anyone have comments/suggestions on alternate technology for IB. I trade H4 and D1 only. My primary requirement is a good trade management module more then anything else. I plan on using MT4 as my indicators are built there and then enter an order and manage it through something else.

I have seen trade-commander's MTIBBridge but don't know how well it works.

Thanks.

Mods: I am assuming that this goes in Brokers and not Platform Tech but move it if you think otherwise.

It will cost you, but it's worth every penny. It will also be able to manage nearly every type of market and product that IB provides, not just Forex.

jack,

thanks. I am currently testing Ninjatrader. I truly only need to be able to put in pending orders with SL being moved and 2 TPs. So far I like the ATM concept but still figuring it out.

Pretty sure it's free if using it with IB (or at least it was free the last time I used it).
