    I might be a little late to reply to this post.
    I have done some interesting experiments with the WinLink interface to InstaQuote.

    I was succesful with the following things:

    - perform a login
    - get a time and sales feed for multiple tickers
    - get a levelII feed for multiple tickers
    - open a batch order entry window
    - execute a batch


    I was unsuccessful in:
    - getting historical data (only data that was manually requested passes through ...)
    - gettting a datafeed from a detailed quote window (InstaQuote does not reply ...)


    Stuff I still haven't tried:
    - portfolio management
    - order management




    Just send me a PM if you want more info.


    regards,
