QMATIX.COM and XLQ Incompatible w/ macOS

[DMR]

Recently Tom referenced the XLQ tool to help one manage their use of real-time data.

I happen to running ToS and Trader Workstation on a MacbookPro w/ Mojave V10.14.6

I also have Microsoft Office for Mac installed, so the version of Excel for Mac V16.16.11 (190609) ... whatever all that means?

FAQ on the post thread report that XLQ has not been released for macOS. Furthermore the Excel for Mac does not support the RTD and other functions.

Does anyone know how to connect my real-time data feeds from ToS or IB to my Excel spreadsheets?

I can't speak for XLQ and I don't have a MAC but searching for RTD on MAC I found this
that perhaps might give you some answers

EXCEL FOR MAC IN RTD NOT WORKING

Dear Team, I am using excel for mac office 365 subscription in RTD function not working. We have already changes in enable macros setting but still facing issue. Best Regards, Nitin Patel

There is also a workaround for XLQ by adding windows but I am guessing you don't want to do that

Thank you. I have not heard of this COM server requirement. I'll grab one of my experts at work and look into this to see if this will allow me to import ToS data into my spreadsheets. I'm not a very sophisticated Excel user. When I tried to use some of the cell programming functions I've seen during various webcasts I eventually found out these functions were not supported by Excel for Mac. Thanks for the link and I'll dig in to see if things have changed from a few years ago. I also looked into a Parallels license and for what that cost/year I ended up buying a lower end laptop off the Dell website and using it since ONE was also not available for the macOS. Then I lost that PC to one of the kiddo's venturing forth to College.

i don't do apple products, but vmware sells a virtual machine product called fusion that will
let you run a windows virtual machine on a mac. you'll also need a windows license but the cost
of both may be reasonable. i have no experience with fusion so you should research it if it's an
option for you.
