Does anybody know of a service that provides real time futures (specifically the E-mini contracts) that allow export to Excel using a DDE. This allows one to view the prices, in real time as they change, directly in Excel. Thanks.
I've seen a couple ads in the past few years for an Excel application that uses data from Barchart.com. I have never used the service, or any of barchart's streaming-data services, but it would be worth dropping barchart.com an e-mail and ask them if they still offer the excel service. At least you wouldn't have to pay for a Tradestation, DTNiq, etc to get the Excel app.
So what is the cheapest data provider that offers this feature: ESignal $99/mo Quote.com ??/mo Is anybody using a provider with this feature cheaper than $99/mo?
Check out : http://www.portfolioscience.com/ps/xl/realtime/features.cfm That's the service I mentioned in the last post.
Couldn't get link to work, can you please try to repost it? I did make it to their homepage, but not sure which product of theirs you are refering to. Thanks.
Try this link: www.portfolioscience.com. That's the home page. Look on the lower-left margin of the page. You'll see a little icon that says something like "EXCEL ADD-IN". Click on the link and it will take you to the page with more details. If you happen to use the service, drop me a line - I'm curious as to your experience with it, usability, etc.
