I would like to second the paintbar feature. Having the ability to draw arrows or play a sound notification when triggered, similar to what QT had before.
If you are able to setup the email notification for triggered alerts, you can use my work-around for automated trades that I created for QT (Only for IB users, please note the automated trading with this work around can be slow, can take 3-10 sec to execute).
