I tried IB + Multicharts in the past.
You can trade futures and stocks but not options. The Multicharts version that I still have is the easylanguage and not the ".Net". So, you can have a portfolio + strategies on it. I think if you want to use automated strategies, Multicharts is probably a good option.
If it is for investment purpose and long term positions, I don't think this would be the best solution. If it is for intraday trading, it is OK, even if you can find much better solutions like Jigsaw.
Basically, at the time I wanted a serious and stable frontend with order management for Interactive Brokers, to swing trade Stocks and Futures. It did the job, even if I always kept TWS on, for a recap of my positions.
At the time, this was 99% compatible with Tradestation easylanguage indicators and strategies. As both platform evolved differently, this is less and less the case now. The ".Net" version is probably better equipped now for new technologies.
Hope this helps!
