HI everybody!
My first post 😉!
I have been learning as much as I could for the last months, and gave my first steps (and lost my first money 😏).
I subcribed to InteractiveBrokers (IB) and start using their plattform, but realized that it is not good enough for analysis and automated trading.
I also realized that I should try to trade with automatic tools, as I can not be checking everything while I am in my ordinary work. Mi idea is to spend time in programming during weekends and release my scripts to work alone during the week.
I have been checking Amibroker (AB) and Tradestation (TS) but couldn't decide which one I should use.
I have beed reading some opinions along the web but couldn't get any conclusion.
As I am already an IB customer, I don't feel like moving again to a new broker like TS (you know, papers, time, money swifts,etc). I only would do so If TS is really the best option.
I have been wondering about using AB with IB, but read some possible troubles with data feedings. My questions are:
PS: I don't work in IT but are good with computers and "DIY" programming...

I have been wondering about using AB with IB, but read some possible troubles with data feedings. My questions are:
- Do AB and IB work together nicely?
- Can I send automatic orders from AB to IB and leave the system open and working while I am not in front of the computer?
- Would it be a good system for intraday trading or just for day by day?
- Would it be also OK for FX?
- Or, instead, would you recommend moving from IB to TS directly?
