No and no software can do this.
The MetaQuotes business model is to generate commissions by artificial spread.
So they need to have control about data. Consequently there is no client side data API,
a datainterface in MetaTrader.

However, this is not really a problem: Except artificial spread, quotes are pretty close to those at
IB. For market orders, you can expect better fills at IB. Limit orders can't be placed so close to market
at with IB or define a limit price offset in pips per contract in the bridge.

Generally, if you have doubts the bridge is a benefit for you, we provide a stresstest along with the bridge.
This stresstest places many orders during a short time and compares the total Equity drawdown on both sides.
This equity drawndown includes ALL costs.

You can change parameters or code of the stresstest to adjust it to your situation.
