Jimmy,
I've looked at all (?) US and English quote vendors. Then I started looking at European - German, Dutch and Spanish (Visual Charts).
Visual Charts is the only one which has what I need in terms of the ability to download, import and manipulate the required data, in the correct format, into Excel, and on acceptable terms (other European vendors may offer the same but at a higher cost).
I would even suggest the Europeans are on a par with - if not better than, in some cases - the US.
QuoteIn does not work with Visual Charts. However, VC has introduced a VBA module which downloads real-time data into Excel, including tick data. Moreover, this data can be downloaded after market closes.
Grant.
