Hi, I just finished implementing a long term trading algo that is moderately succesful. Now I'd like to shift my focus toward intraday trading. In terms of algo functions I have what I need to collect data and run calculations. So my question what works and what doesn't? What Sampling rates...

M2IB has been renamed to Quant2IB. Anyone using this, I'd appreciate any shared experiences.

Rosy, I'm asking how you take that real time quote from a web page and get it into a cell in Excel. I'm fairly literate in Excel VBA but have not found an efficient way to this. I need it to be streaming in real time the same way it does on yahoo. If I have to refresh the link every minute...

Hi all. Apologies if this question has been answered in another thread. I need to find a way to get a live streaming quote in excel like the one provided by yahoo finance. Other threads end up resolving this by using web query but this gives a static quote that can be refreshed periodically...

For the moment I reverted back to excel 2003. It works fine with windows 7 and the latest TWS. When I have more time on my hands I'll look into working out the bugs in excel 2010.

Hi, I am having a similar problem with my excel DDE. I just tried running it on my PC with windows 7 using excel 2010. Looks like the linking doesn't even occur as I can't receive quotes on my spreadsheet. Have you resolved your problem? I'm thinking there is probably a configuration...

Thanks Jeb, I played daround with it for a while. It doesn't look like it will get daily timeframe data. Is there a way of doing this?

I have been looking for the the best open source apps to automate and backtest a very simple strategy with an API to IB TWS. The more I look, the more there are. A common trend among these platforms is that they are never really complete and the documentation is lacking. So I was wondering, is...

Good conversation going here. Hoping this leads to something. One thing I can't figure out is if is tradelink capable of recording tick data for later use in bactesting? (or where I can purchase/download tick data). Another thing I wondered is if it is capable of making an autotrade based...

Does tradelink have any way of preventing TWS from auto logoff, effectively keeping TWS on indefinately? And what happens if there is an interruption to internet connection and TWS disconnects? Could tradelink monitor the connection and log back on again?

Hi Junkyard, I have had the same question too for the longest time. I have also tried to do my own thing using Excel with IB and I've had nothing but problems along the way. If you have found a solution, please let me know. I am currently looking at tradelink as an alternative.

Hi, I'm using excel to automate my trades. My system is for swing positions therefore I don't need real time data. I am getting data from yahoo that refreshes every 10 minutes. Every once in a while I get an error similar to this: "Could not refresh 'web address' because the internet...
