Excel

[lammergriffin]

How about a section or special forum on how to create spreadsheets to accelerate technical analysis! You could even set up sophisticated entry and exit points with time spreads planned out so that you don't have to watch and worry your trades go by. You could just go in and adjust your stop loss as you see fit, if it needs changing. There must be a gazillion things you can do on a spreadsheet in the forex market.

Yes, that will be something really nice for beginners wanting to use Excel as their platform when trading. It can be something such as some guides on using DDE or even on using it along with Metatrader.

Wiki has the excellent article on DDE. I would never link Excel to another application. You can just build up formulas in your own spreadsheet. Excel has some but not all functions built-in, and if you have enough math stamina, you can build-up your own Forex spreadsheet.
