I got bored the other day and pulled up an IB chart just to enjoy the colors on my screen. In terms of flexibility, indicators, etc, it looked a little minimal relative to stockcharts. It ain't a Bloomberg, that's for sure. But the backfill came in quick and it seemed to update just fine. Then again, I don't use charts in any serious fashion so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. I wish IB had moved charting down the priority stack - already tons of great solutions for that - and given us better access to historical data (like TradeStation). My biggest headaches, by far, are farming and massaging data, actual crunching and testing is trivial in comparison.
