Ed,
I am using eSignal 8.0 rc2 charting / datafeed with IB as my broker.
It has been rock solid throughout all of this volatility.
Version 10.x of eSignal charting is still a mess. There's data lags
galore there. Someone did their best and brightest to mess that
version cycle up but good.
I would assume that the Amibroker real-time front-end charting with
an eSignal data backend is very solid too. It's just that I only
use Amibroker for research purposes.
