I'm trying to find a reliable connection to MW for swing trading stocks. I am currently testing TradeStation and IBKR. For some reason IBKR data takes 10x longer to load than TradeStation data. In order to use IBKR do you need to buy a better data feed? Has anyone else experienced this?

Im using MW with CQG for futures which has been flawless and inexpensive. What's the way forward for stock trading with MotiveWave?
 
I use IBKR and the data feed works fine for me but today I am having issues when submitting orders through MW using the IBKR API. I've been getting error messages that say there was a connection issue and the order didn't go through but when I check IBKR the order is there. Also when I would do an OCO order through MW only the entry order would go through but not the stop order.

Funny you say that because I am having the same issues with the TradeStation API. This is part of the reason I am looking at IBKR. I actually haven’t even tried to place an order in IBKR because the data is so slow. I wonder if this is a MW issue?
 
Anyone else continuing to have data access issues to IBKR? It's soooooo slooooowww
