Fred,
This is exactly the same problem I am trying to solve. For intraday data
feed I'm using myTrack because you can easily change your service level and
you can get any exchange under the sun. I asked myTrak if they had an
interface to Excel and they said no but are planning to. In the mean time I
tried out Sierra Charts ($49 cheap but good) which uses an Excel compatible
workbook (Not Excel97 though) plus chartbooks. It hooks up to the myTrak
feed and I could setup the spreadsheet to capture the ticks dynamicaly BUT
it wouldn't save the data and roll down each time. Obviously that's crucial
to be able to apply indicator with lookback periods and do testing. So I've
e-mailed Sierra to see it there is a way to get the workbooks to save the RT
quotes.
Of course FutureSource has the hot setup but it's probably a fortune.
Checkout Calcsource.

If ya figure out how to solve this, please let me know.

Thanks Javier. PSM is a nice program. However I am trying to find a nice
and
easy way to download (and save) intraday data 'directly' into Excel for
charting and
calculations (poor man's version of real time data). PSM will save data
into a designated file and Excel can later access the file and import data.
But it is a two step job, and Excel must keep referring to the
designated file for fresh data periodically.
