"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"Very impressed with the quality of your feed - ******* is a real donkey in comparison." - Comment from A.C. via Email

"Just a thank you for the very helpful and prompt assistance and services. You provided me with noticeably superior service in my setup compared to a couple of other options I had looked at." - Comment from John

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

jean -Interested User- Posts: 29 Joined: Jul 24, 2004	Posted: Aug 29, 2004 05:27 PM Msg. 1 of 3 I would like to create some simple uses of the DDE link within Excel; namely to receive live data e.g. Time & Sales and to simultaneously see this data build real-time in an Excel Chart. Does anyone know how I can do this? Also, I would like to retrieve Historical data through a DDE link. Again any ideas? Thanks

Download the Sample IQFeed DDE with T&S.xls. It is based on a macro that isn't supported, and isn't very good. However, it may give you some ideas. At this time there isn't a way to pull historical data into Excel from the IQ servers using DDE. With a DTN.IQ subscription you can use the T&S app to export data into Excel though. A good place to visit is the XLTraders group on yahoo. These folks are high end Excel users who have written many apps with various datafeeds. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xltraders Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.
