as a trading platform, ib is really good. but their real time charting is not that great and eats up lots of memory. if you use quote tracker with IB, charting is better by a factor, but is limited to 100 symbols. if you must have more than 100 symbols, you need another real time charting source

In the past I think I've seen messages from people who use Interactive Brokers for trading but use other sources for their real-time data (e.g., IQFeed or eSignal). Isn't IB a reliable data source or are their other reasons to seek alternatives?
