Breakout system in Excel

[DS2424]

Was wondering if anyone has had success coding a breakout system via Excel. Thanks

 

[amnonco]

what do you mean via excel exactly?

for backtesting?
for real trading? with real time data?

 

[DS2424]

For all three...back-testing, live signals using real-time data. I currently run a longer term trend following system using Excel. Real-time signals via live data. I am wondering if anyone has coded a break-out system with trailing stops, price objectives, etc. Thanks

 

[amnonco]

then yes. i have.

the only part i didn't do is creating the actual order to the platform from excel.

backtesting and signals - done that.
