Some problems and a few questions
I am a new user of Quantcha, doing a test drive.
When I try to open a stock chart (valid ticker symbol) in the fullscreen mode, it fails with an error message.
My broker is Interactive Brokers which is not supported by Quantcha. Does it mean that I can only sign up for a paid subscription with delayed market data?
What kind of delay are we talking about, 5 minutes, 10 minutes?
Will Interactive Brokers data feed be supported in the future? I understand that Interactive Brokers is very difficult to be integrated. Their API is difficult to work with.

Thanks for raising the fullscreen market quote bug. We pushed a fix for this today, so it should work as expected moving forward.
If you are subscribed but have not linked a brokerage account, then the data is delayed at least 20 minutes. To get non-delayed data, it's recommended that you link a supported brokerage account. Depending on the brokerage, they may not even require you to fund or trade the account to allow API integration.
We would very much like to integrate with Interactive Brokers, but they do not have an API solution for our scenario. We've had various discussions with them about this in the past, but it does not seem like they plan to offer what we need. They do have offerings for other scenarios, but the web-based multi-user model isn't one of them.
