Tick Volume For Interactive Brokers

Hi everybody I am confused about getting Tick Volume for IB. I know i can use NT or multicharts; but apparently the TWS data is not great for tick charts.

I'm lean towards more of a swing trade vs. day trade but it really depends on my risk. That being said.. the 120 ms delay in tick volume from IB data that i read about on BM forum …

I'm using MC with IQFeed data and an IB account. The only problem is with trading from the chart. Because MC wants bid/ask data from a broker, I can't place trades from the chart, only from the Trade bar in MC. More info:

MultiCharts Project Management - Issue MC-1239 - Use data feed from vendor instead of broker

You already spent money on the feed, and you should contact MC support to help you setup correctly, and I have the same setup with you, but all works well.
