As long as you can get to the data through the MyTrack SDK, and you know your way
around VB, you can write a DDE Server and then purchase MetaServer RT for Windows
DDE to get the rest of the way to TS2000 (www.traders-soft.com).  I'm currently
attempting a similar project for a Forex feed (in Delphi).  It's a bit of a Rube
Goldberg machine, but it should work, provided you have a fast machine and aren't
trying to handle too many symbols.

An alternative would be to see if Andrew Nazarov, the MetaServer author, is willing
to write a direct interface to the SDK.  He's already got programs for 5 feeds plus
DDE, he may be willing to add another.  He's been very helpful with my project, so
it's worth asking.
