Excel & IB - full auto environment

Hi all,


I have developped some strategies on Excel and would like to link Excel with IB in a full automatic environment.

Example : as soon as the cell C4 on Excel becomes "1", a sell order for X contracts on NQ is automaticly sent to IB.

Which software would be the best?

Many thanks for your help

Excel with IB DDE?

 

yes, it does the job but heavy

and does not work with vista

in any case, many thanks for your help

 

Excel has never come to the forefront as a trading enviro...

 

DDE works great in Vista. I am using vista 64 bit with Office 2007, and no problems whatsoever
