New Version(s) Released
Hello,
Today I am pleased to announce I have released the latest verion of XLTrader Add-ins for both Office 97-2003 and Office 2007. The Zip files can be found in the group files area. My aim with this release was to make things easier for those who are less familiar with Excel.
1) Data downloading (from Yahoo! Finance) has gotten much easier. The HLC_CHart template now asks you, when you first launch it, if you want to set it up for automatic downloading. If you say yes it presents a form not unlike XLYahoo that asks for the symbol, frequency , start and stop dates etc. It then downloads the latest data from Yahoo and sets the template up so that all you have to do to update it is press a button on the template toolbar (in the future when more historical data is available). You can change the default path if its not working (Yahoo sometimes (fortunately rarely) changes it)
2) All forms now default to the next available column on the data sheet. You only need to choose a column for output from the drop box if you intend to overwrite an existing data series.
3) All Array formulas now extend well into the future. You no longer need to manually edit your array formulas to reflect new data once new data becomes available.
4) There are a couple of new feature in XLAngles: Carl Futia's Price Time Squaring method, and Stevenson Price Time targets.
5) The TA-LIB stochastics was added to the XLIndicators form
6) A "price time coordinates" Algorithm was added to XLTools (so now you can click any place on the chart (on a remote spiral location for instance) and find the corresponding price and time.
7) THe Office 2007 version now uses the native XLM file formats (i.e XLSM, XLAM and XLTM)
8) You can now install an add-in by double clicking it....
Well that's about all the changes I can remember at this time. Everyone should upgrade to the appropriate version.
Here is a quick sneek peek at what I'm working on:
1) Everyone will soon be issued a password to the members area on the website. That is where links to the most recent versions of the add-ins will be in the future.
2) Yahoo! Intraday is now a reality using the great little add-in that is free at Greenturtle.us Im working on how best to get that data-stream into XLTrader. Everyone interested in intraday TA (of stocks on Yahoo! Finance) should get a copy of the Yahoo realtime add-in at http://www.greenturtle.us/
3) Front end for the Swiss Ephemeris dll. This is the premier digital ephemeris and the price is right.... its free for personal use!
4) Videos.... more instruction is on the way.
That's about it for now but I'm always open to your suggestions. Please feel free to post to the group. The more activity we generate, the more people will join us.
