Sadly yes. Spreads are (atm) wider than an OTC provider AND they require approx 4times the margin that their OTC providers do. The exchange has DPM's (Designated Price Makers) - institutions that have some good incentives to provide a liquid market. That said, the following must be noted: 1...

Cool, Couple of points: 1. You asked if it was possible, and yes it is (you did not state which market you wished to trade in),and, 2. The ASX offers CFD's on Aussie equities, Gold, Oil, major FX pairs and major indicies (eg Dow/Nasdaq and maybe the Dax).....

Example: Interactive Brokers API to trade the ASX traded CFD's....so yes it is possible.

Grant, Would make sense if you utilised a dynamic range for the values in the sheet. That way you can use the range name in code as opposed to the range 'address'. This also means that you could adxd more rows to the bottom of the range and these would be included. Do a search on 'Dynamic Excel...

Mate, Something is only good value if: 1. You either need it or know of someone (ie this is a market) that does, and, 2. It is at a significant discount to the rest of the available items currently on the market that provide the near-same functionality. With the above in mind (and taking your...

Grant, As per my previous, not sure if DDE link would fire a calculate event but if it does then fine... Also, your 'turning off' requirement should be a simple boolean value which is trapped within worksheet calculate event.

Fair point re the tick updates. I would, however, point out the following: 1. As the number of possible worksheet change causing items (asset prices) increases, you will, at some point, need to consider saving to a file iso pasting into the worksheet. 2. From memory, if the cell updates are...

Swandro, All well and good, but this is a quick way to fill 65k rows in the spreadsheet... One would therefore imagine that was the foundation of the requirement to have a timed 'capture' ??

Grant, A couple of things: 1. What is stopping it from working is the fact that you are setting the scheduling to 'True' - this doesn't work as it (Now + Timevalue) is not a time which can ever repeat in this format. The same is true of the 'Stop' routine, you can not cancel a schedule for...

Don't Make Me Laugh... SOC, As you know all in advance, why didn't you tell him ? That would've saved his hissy-fit. Also, FWIW, he aint that upset for Americans losing their homes, I'm sure there is another reason......closer to home for him perhaps ? Maybe the entirety of his net worth or...

This is absolute GOLD. Whatever happened to keeping emotions out ? http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=452808336

Mate, Maybe I'm missing something - but I really do not understand what your proprietary charting system is showing and furthermore, what you are trying to achieve with your posts. As far as I can tell: 1. You have not posted any trades, and, 2. Even if you did, the pictures you post (to me...

Laptop1, What are the odds on the first letter of each sentence of one of my post relating to Socrates spelling the word W.A.N.K.E.R. ? Must be a zillion-to-one. Mind you, they say that if you put a chimp in front of a typewriter for long enough, eventually it will type out Shakespeare...

Soc, Will you please tell us the purpose of this thread ? Actually, are you even able to ? Not that I've got anything against you chief. Please elaborate or keep schtum. Klangers, left, right and centre throughout this entire thread... Exorcise us from our trading demons now ! Responsibly allow...

Unlike Socrates....he is no longer welcome in Sydney and I now formally withdraw my free airfare and hotel offer. Oscar, you move quickly...in South Africa already ! :lol:
