Excel Based Trading


Recommended Posts

when did Excel Based Trading really start?
+ this would include using Excel DDE, Excel RTD, etc


would it be envisaged that Excel Based Trading will get more popular from now on?


as is understood, there are broker platforms which allow one to extract eg OHLP Prices directly into Excel, instead of have to configure an Excel DDE spreadsheet, or Excel RTD spreadsheet
+ any comments on this?

I don't think the IG spreadsheet is supported anymore and like you have discovered it is tricky and time-consuming to get working.

I've lots of experience using Excel for financial markets/trading purposes as well as using the IG API.

I've built an Excel Add-in which makes using Excel with IG much easier, you don't need to deal with DDE, RTD etc. you can just use standard Excel formulas: https://www.excelpricefeed.com/

I think Excel is great for analysing prices, backtesting, modelling, generating signales etc. but I would not suggest that you try to use it for actual trading.

thanks Andy, will checkout your Excel Add-In (but a bit later, as I have to clear a few things first)

    • Considering the impact of Lisk LSK to Defi and web3 and the simplicity it provides for developers to transfer skills more rapidly for the building of dApps. Am confident that the token will highly be sought after. I have deposited some of my LSK on Bitget to share from the Airdrop event to celebrate the listing of the token on the CEX.
    • Thanks for sharing @THT I highly doubt that gold will fall below the 1900 level, which is the lowest support level on the monthly time frame. Right now, the current pullback in gold is nothing but a FALSE MOVE to the downside which ALWAYS takes place before a REAL BREAKOUT. This FALSE MOVE can last no longer than 1-3 time units and is simply the REQUIRED movement of markets. Gold is setting up for a major sling-shot to the upside.
    • Had this on my chart (daily) for a long time Next watch for one of those 2 scenarios above unfolding THT
