Taz,
I have been successful every week using Amibroker, IB, and TSIM+.
TSIM+ from tradingsimulation.com is a free IB compatible front-end.
Forget ES & NQ and focus on QM, ZB, ER2, & 6E. Regarding daily,
weekly, monthly data, use amiquote to get historical data from the
builtin yahoo.com feed.
Trade well,
