trade-ideas can do that

Ah, yes forgot about that, sorry. What you might want to do is have a UDF that uses the cell where you have your DDE link. It will be called everytime the value changes. You can do your processing then.... you'll probably want to keep an internal array in VBA of the ticks, and a global...

What does it give you in the Target parameter that is passed in? That should be the cell that changed (it's a range variable)... of course you want to make sure that it is the price cell that you are looking for that is being updated. Cash

Sure there is. Just use the Worksheet_Calculate event. Then you can do what you need to there. In regards to updating the chart, just make sure the chart refers to a named range. Then when you update the ticks, and add a cell to the place where the chart is getting it's data, reset that...

check out the OnCalculate function in the worksheet object in the VBA.

I wonder how indices are at filling the gap as opposed to individual stocks.

Frikkin' awesome!!! What an eye opener... I like the comment about the dip in the S&P 500 starting mid-March to pay taxes! Too bad they don't have it for specific stocks. Cash

Clarence Beeks is your man. :D

OK, obviously I missed some threads. But when I talk to my buddies doing IT at the major brokerages in NYC (MER, JPM, UBS, etc.) they're all doing C++ and C# for automated trading. Can you give me a link to some of the threads you are referring to? Cash

These guys might have some stats you're interested in: http://www.tickersense.typepad.com/ They seem to be in to that kind of stuff. Don't know if they have exactly what you're looking for. Cash

Yeah, making significant $$$ for the firms that employee them!

Yeah, making significant $$$ for the firms that hire them!

It's really all up to you. I would suggest you put in time both pre and post market doing news analysis, trade review, and research on your stocks and strategies. You don't need to trade every day, but I wouldn't not trade one day because I made a big score the prior day. You never know...

Well, look at at... top tax bracket 35% (I think) let's say joe is in Calif (10%) I think and of course SS tax 7%-14% depending on if he's self employed And then there's property tax And then of course sales tax I'd say more than 50% for the ABOVE AVERAGE Joe. Yeah, right about now...

Doesn't really matter... have you noticed the deficit lately??? They spend it whether they get the tax revenue or not!
