Critical reasons for sticking with IBKR
With feature-rich IBKR TWS one may place orders either directly from charts (flawlessly!) or from "Bid x Ask" (be it DOM or Option Chain).
To buy - click on Ask, to sell - click on Bid --> Modify "Order Ticket" if required to change price, order types, set conditions, etc. --> Transmit
Apart from numerous other means of placing orders, needless to mention, at no-extra-cost yet powerful APIs are available to automate it all, plus, many interesting data-points especially to-do with Options.
Very stable RTDServer to get numerous data-points transmitted to Excel. By "Enabling ActiveX and Socket Clients" enjoy free real-time quotes onto popular charting softwares (including AmiBroker).
