C'mon, Lee, you play dumb, but we all know you are far from it. You figured out QCharts ok, didn't you. TS isn't any more difficult. You don't have to use all the bells and whistles if you don't benefit from them.
Oh, well, what about:
1) Harrisdirect (www.harrisdirect.com). Simple, $20/trade up to 1K shares.
2) Fidelity (www.powerstreet.com). $14 up to 1K shares, free platform with 36 trades.
3) MyTrack (www.mytrack.com). Rates vary according to how many trades you do/mo. They're direct access like IB. Can pay for add-ons.
4) MBTrading (www.mbtrading.com). Like IB, but a bit more expensive
5) TerraNova (www.terranovatrading.com). Chose the platform you like. A bit expensive.
6) Noble Trading (nobletrading.com). Offers a choice of /share or /trade commissions.
I've looked at them all at one time or another. Still think IB and TS are the best, at least for my needs. Good luck!
