The DANGER of market orders

There's no way I would trade with the limitations that you mention, which I also find quite surprising. I can't see why anyone would tolerate this when there are competitive platforms such as IB's TWS ? Unless there are any other dynamic advantages ?

Rog1111, Does the IB TWS platform have the kind of easylanguage backtesting capabilities that are built in to TS? Also, I think when you sign up with TS as your broker, your desktop platform is automatically backfilled with lots of data? Maybe Twalker can confirm?

Does the backfill include intraday volume?
Can you work off line on your backtest strategies (I assume they do server maintenance eve's and weekends?)
