TickForge

TickForge is a modern, easy-to-use day-trading terminal for the US stock markets, built specifically for Interactive Brokers accounts. It connects directly to your own TWS or IB Gateway session and replaces the cluttered TWS front end with a fast native workspace. Market discovery: up to 10 real-time market scanners (top gainers, most active, hot by volume, and more) with configurable auto-refresh, a live watchlist, momentum alerts, symbol-linked news, and a fundamentals panel with low-float and short-interest highlighting. Charts & analysis: up to 12 concurrent live charts (candlestick, line, OHLC) with SMA, EMA, VWAP, Bollinger Bands, RSI, and MACD, drawing tools saved per symbol, and color-coded link groups — click a scanner row and every linked widget flips to that symbol. Charting is powered by TradingView's open-source lightweight-charts rendering engine. Order entry: market, limit, stop, and bracket orders with one-click flatten, configurable hotkeys, and scriptable "script keys" — one line turns a keystroke into a complete order, with live price variables, position-based sizing, and direct routing. Workspace: multi-monitor, multi-window layouts that are saved continuously and restored on startup, named layout presets, guided onboarding, and a full UI in English, Spanish, German, and Portuguese. Privacy: your trading data never touches TickForge servers — the app talks to the TWS/IB Gateway session on your machine, and your IBKR credentials are never entered into TickForge. Requires an Interactive Brokers account (live or paper), TWS or IB Gateway running locally, and IBKR market-data subscriptions. US equities only. Native app for Windows 10+, macOS 12+, and Linux. One plan: $39/month or $199/6 months, with a 17-day full-featured trial.
