    Roger,

    I heard you the first time (joke).

    Thank you for the suggestion. I use real-time European futures and options data, which if I’m correct, is not available via Yahoo.

    Since the last post I’ve created a sheet via VBA which takes prices at any interval and stores them, building into a database. Unfortunately, it seems I’m now pushing my pc to its limits – slow to calculate, etc

    I’ve book-marked your link and will look at it in greater depth in due course. I’m sure there is potential, here.

    In the meantime, take a look at the following:

    http://www.turboexcel.com/

    Basically, this compiles Excel sheets – formulas, VBA, etc - into C++, and claims to speed up applications by up to 300%. Don’t hold your breath waiting for replies to any queries – I’ve mailed them three times, in vain. I may be a buyer, they are a seller. Where’s the fcking problem?

  5. Probably this site is just doing market research, to measure the number of queries, as knowing what people want is vital before actually investing time into making it.
    They dont reply to you because the product you want is not in existence yet.
    When they have got (N) responses, they may actually be able to make it and sell it....

    Thanks anyway
