cyberxpert: outreach the boundries of excel
IB excel adapter (free) is a useful tool to draw real time info from IB - specifically real time account info - which I find very useful to drive my sizing/risk spreadsheet.
OK, programming questions about context menus and toolbars and such should not be in this thread. You'll want to create a new one to follow up on that stuff.
May as well start at the most difficult bit...
How do you access real time exch rates?
My guess is you use a web site like google.
If you type in eg eur to gbp it comes up with a spot rate.
I can get the symbol currency but does anyone have any snippet about how to access and read a web page?
Yes it is a complex project. I don't think one needs to use an API as we have C# and it's been done before of a fashion - see jt's NewsAddin.
Unfortunately this is in a dll and I can't /don't know how to read those.

here is my excel calculator for position sizing. At this moment i use ATR method but i have some doubts if it is best.
For calculation i use margins from AMP Futures.
There are some mistakes in symbols GE,ZF and ZT i will fix it soon.
This is created for position trading, not for daytrading !!!
