On Friday, when trading was hot and heavy, I estimated that TradeStation was
lagging about 45 seconds behind Interactive Brokers. Needless to say, I
quite trading during that period.


Take a look at QuoteTracker for times like this. The interface of quotetracker charts, to put it mildly, is subpar. But, you can quickly switch to it from TS during times like this.
a) Data is from IB. So order entry prices & chart prices match.
b) Can get data backfill from IB - so you don't have to keep it running.
3) Is free (shows ads while running only - no adware/spyware).. perfect for those "once a month" kind of usage.
