I spoke to them about this and they actually said they have no intention of being a charting program - so dont hold your breath - a real shame as it means you have to use other programs such as Ninja if you wish to trade off charts - without doing this when using IB : crap:

Yeah, seriously, i cant believe i have to have a customer service rep give me a call back the next day to tell me how to setup a bracket order on chart trader.... He literally had to check it out with other folks to be able to tell me how to make it work properly... I am almost positive its buggy... The most convoluted POS software i have ever seen....

Autotrader works way better, and thats free.....

I got to second Sierra Charts for charting and order entry.
Do check out their web site and instruction videos.

Another great front-end is Button Trader.
Button Trader might be what you're looking for!

Take some time to check them both out.
