IB commercial is very confusing

i was hoping to use IB for downloading intraday data as i can create multiple demo accounts. here is thier commercial.
https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=1286
on the top they claim 10 minute delayed data


on the bottom they say data is based on previous weeks ticks

IB is confusing...I do not know your trading experience but the previous weeks ticks also was a turn off for me....advantages at IB, execution, fills, data....(they do not provide tick data, it is 5 second packets)

Besides not providing real time data, what other questions can I answer?

Questions:

Are you building a trading system, what are you goals and concerns?

What computer languages are you familiar with? And if none, what type of software are you using to implement your ideas?

Because this is a generalization., I will assume the loosest set of parimeters and work from the simplest step first.

The answer to your question, using a simple system to begin (Demo version) RSI, MACD, and using 50, 100, 200 DMA. Run the system under DEMO and watch a chart which will show the entries in delayed time (Interactive Brokers) but still very useful toward results and how to improve those results.

Time frames or optimal trading zones are predetermined by your primary selection and how the three selected indicator/oscillators and their triggers work. Remember, the triggers also provide rudimentary arguments for a 'trade' or 'no trade' selection.

I do not use Ninja Trader nor do I have any knowledge regarding their software.

If you need further information. Provide answers from question above and determine what rules will create the type of system you would like to start with?
