Good point, didnt think of that. I guess that once someone makes it a feature everyone else will follow.

Thanks v much for the advice! Actually tried the web query and it works reasonably well, only problem is it will only update every 1 minute and live i need to try and get live updates. Also need prices from the SB firm i am using to make my position details accurate. Doesnt look like this is...

Thats perfect, that was the one I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to do that.

Hi, I am reasonably new to trading and would like it if someone could pls explain how the fair value for currency futures are calculated? For example when a new futures contract month comes into play how do they price it (i recognise that it has something to do with the interest rate diffs etc...

Thanks v much for looking into this. Still shocked that it isnt offeredx, Im sure some of the "serious" traders must be wanting to use this???

Is this a massive job to do then? I can create spreadsheets to an average level, nothing hugely technical. Couple of macros (really basic) is about as complicated as it gets. I cant believe that it hasnt been created already to be honest, surely people want real time prices? How difficult would...

Does anyone know if there are any spreadbetting firms that have a DDE link with their software? I have a spreadsheet that needs manually updating but real time feeds would be so much better. Just wondered if it was possible. Someone suggested looking at realtime data (Bloomie or Reuters for...
