Is there a trading platform for Excel ?

[Pat494]

Hopefully someone will know a platform that one can incorporate Excel + ideas into their charts ?

If you are profitable, I can make you one. But I will need to see the beef up front - but you know my style already. Live Bloomberg data can be fed into Excel directly if you have a Bloomberg terminal.

Early days but on a daily basis seems to be profitable.
Would you be using say MT4 or NinjaTrading for the basic platform ?
I have a manual version that I made and use but it is a lot of extra work. My vision was really to see a line on the chart as you can do with moving averages etc.
Would you charge ? To keep costs low I was thinking of yahoo data.

No Bloomberg terminal.

Anything is possible depending on the level of profit. If you are that profitable, I can even rig up Excel to communicate with your bathroom tap, or the kettle in your kitchen. More exotic the job, more costly it would be, and hence greater level of profit is needed.

I'd accept payment by way of your profitable technique. Although I won't be open to deals for long as I am fast approaching attaining my own profitable technique.

Not sure if I understand.

I import data via DDE into excel, that my software (Amibroke) converts into chart.

Is this what you mean?

Most platforms have excel interface - pretty easy to use, rts and tt I used to download real time prices to do additional analysis.

You can also trade execute through excel, but that's not a partic robust way. That's where c+ comes in handy.

Take a look at Sierrachart. You can add a spreadsheet as a study and get it to draw things on the chart based on info. on the spreadsheet. When you add the spreadsheet, it automatically puts the price data into the first few columns as well as the values of any other indicators you have on the charts. So you can put in your own formulae to manipulate the price data.

You CAN use Excel but they have developed their own version based on the Excel engine. In most ways it is identical to Excel, but it does not have the VBA underbelly. If you want to use VBA you would have to specify that you want to use Excel (this is a parameter setting when you add the spreadsheet study.

Incidentally, you can actually trade from Excel via Sierrachart. It's all there.

Thanks that sounds what I'm looking for.
