There is a way but you may want to consult a web programming expert.

You're better off asking on the IB usergroups about this sorta thing.

Unless you are really cheap you'd be better off using an interface that has some programmers behind it to support you.

You can find some discussion of the excel interface on the ib discussion boards and the yahoo board but unless you're also a keen VB programmer or love macros to death you are unlikely to enjoy the experience.

Something like Sierra Chart will give you full charting capabilities, autotrading and the ability to test what you are thinking about ... plus support.

Horses for courses.
