    anyone else rely on this?
    no of any firms that offer this?
     
  2. What exactly are you looking for?

    Yahoo.com allows people to download daily, weekly or monthly price data in a csv format that may be opened as an Excel spreadsheet.

    Many vendors provide a DDE link to excel. Google it.
     
  5. you would probably need some sort of API connection from your feed to the spreadsheet?...not sure..but I think to work with "real time" data you would need some sort of front end

    Stsslick,

    Majority of quote vendors/feeds have this facility - it's standard.

    Or are you looking for a free service?

    Stsslick,

    There isn't a "best" - it's a standard feature.

    The only variation is what data is available from the various feeds - some provide more than others.

  10. I would imagine that most data vendors do offer the ability to link real-time data to an Excel spreadsheet. I have created spreadsheets that are linked to my trading platform using real-time quotes and then I can sort by various choices. I copied a list of ETFs (over 200) from finance.Yahoo.com and I can see which ones are moving on a percentage basis in real-time. Yahoo is delayed data. I can do the same thing for futures to look for high volume situations real-time in Excel.
