My patience with this software is starting to run pretty thin. I have no idea what has been done in recent upgrades as in the past I never had issues. Of recent, last couple of months, my initial problem was the time it would take to download charts from IB...this was somewhat resolved by upgrading to another SC package. Now, I am dealing with the screen freezing. I don't trade that frequently hence I only noticed this issue today...the charts were downloading at a respectable rate however the active screen would just suddenly stop updating....this is difficult to notice unless your completely fixated on the charts. Really bad feature when trying to day trade.

I think I am pretty much done trying to integrate IB data with SC...it used to work well but this is not the case any more.

What exchanges do you trade through Interactive Brokers so we can make recommendations in regards to data feeds and order routing?

Interactive Brokers has a substandard data feed and we do not recommend using it. It creates a support impression for Sierra Chart.
