I'm looking for an alternative interface for Interactive Brokers. I have a very small portfolio and I rarely trade so I don't have much of a budget.
Is there any free or low cost software or apps out there to help me? The main thing I really need is a way to easily visualise my portfolio. I really like the awkward way of entering trades but I need things to be easier when it comes to analysis.
Something that could simply link to my account and chart my portfolio would be very useful.
I'm familiar with Trade Interceptor and MT4 - useful for analysis but I would prefer to only be able to enter trades manually.
In fact, keeping analysis and trading as separated as possible is definitely a plus.
edit:
Let's add some value instead of just asking questions. Sharing research so far:
- tradingview are still implementing integration:
https://getsatisfaction.com/tradingview/topics/integrating-tradingview-with-interactive-brokers
- MT4 needs a hub to connect and that's not free. Also, by doing this live trading is linked:

There is this method though:
https://www.tradingsoftwarelab.com/jtwsdata/
- Software prices are not clearly listed here:
https://gdcdyn.interactivebrokers.c...softwareTools&selectedClient=tradersInvestors
So there could be something there...
-And a related thread I don't really understand:
https://www.reddit.com/r/algotradin...t_trading_platform_that_supports_interactive/
- I've found actually NinjaTrader, Medved, ThinkorSwim have free options but these are all Windows and I'm on Mac OSX. I do have an old Linux desktop I could use though and there's also apps to consider.
