  • 23.5b - Update fixing reported crash.
  • Yahoo
    As Yahoo continues to disable any remaining interfaces for day data, Yahoo as a day source has now been disabled in xlq. You should replace it with their historic data, which remains unaffected and / or any of the other sources supported through xlq

    Only if they announce a new service, subscription or otherwise could it again be supported.
  • TDAmeritrade
    xlq now uses the latest embedded chromium browser and will eliminate the ‘unsupported browser’ warning when authenticating with TDAmeritrade.
    A new TDAmeritrade preference setting ‘show login screen x days before expiry’ can now be set to have the authentication screen be shown as a reminder for renewal.

  • 23.4a - New Yahoo preference settings to ignore pre / post market data.
  • Yahoo
    Yahoo has disabled their interface for day data due to licensing from their data providers. They indicate that they are looking to acquire other licenses and the possibility of a new api service, which I will look at supporting if and when available.

    This version continues to support yahoo day data but through a different interface which remains active. It is slower and contains less data so hopefully is not impacted by the new restrictions.
  • Norgate Data
    Uses an updated interface with Norgate Data and adds support for their Canadian data (including for delisted symbols).

  • New options for Historic Intraday
    In addition to specifying 0 or 1 in formulae to return (0) market hours only ,or (1) also include pre / post market, it is now also possible to specify
    2 - Market hours (with gaps), and
    3 - all hours (with gaps).
    with gaps excludes bars where no trades occurred between first and last trade of the day.
  • New preference settings
    Under general, in addition to choosing to delete all data on exit -once, which deletes data within xlq, it is now possible to also chose to
    Delete extra data for all sources on exit – once,
    With options, if preferred to do so by source (EODHD, IB, or IQFeed).
    If set to yes, the stored data retrieved from these sources will also be deleted forcing retrieval of all data on next load. For IB and IQFeed this will only be for historic intraday data, but for EODHD will also remove all fundamental data etc.
    By default now, when installing xlq the extra source data files along with xlq data files will be removed ensuring a clean start.


    Under data source specific / EODHD, IB and IQFeed you can now also choose to set Historic intraday settings / keep retrieved data for reuse to no. This will ensure that if historic intraday data needs to be reloaded, all will be re-requested. If yes (default) reloading of data will be faster and would be recommended if requesting many days.
  • Miscellaneous updates to Historic Intraday based on feedback.
  • All InteractiveBrokers historic requests have been updated with improved handling of the time zone provided to TWS on sign in.
  • All EODHD option requests, in addition to US equities will also work with the following indexes: DJI, GSPC, NDX, RUT, SP100, VIX (.indx).

    • Can reference data by date / time or relative reference.
    • Can work with market hours only and / or include pre/post market.
    • All calculation formulae have been ported
    • Range formulae are available

    Refresh Data Calls – will force an update of all excel cells as if data has changed.
    Clear Requests – will clear all excel requests and all processing and updating will be re-initialized. Ideally this should be followed by clicking refresh all in the xlq menu in excel to ensure all requests are again made.
    These requests may be applied per row for an individual symbol or to a range of selected symbols.
  • xlq2 22.2d update
    - The latest InteractiveBrokers TWS update is now incorrectly returning “The date, time, or time-zone entered is invalid.” error for intraday data for some symbols. xlq 22.2d re-requests the data differently if detected.
  • xlq2 22.2c update
    - Fixes a problem with the new update processing concerning =xlqxhm historic requests to ensure any date can be used to reference the month. (In 22.2a/b using only the 1st of the month or -x references returned results.)
  • xlq2 22.2b update
    - The latest InteractiveBrokers TWS update is incorrectly returning “The date, time, or time-zone entered is invalid.” errors again for some symbols. xlq 22.2b has been updated to work around this problem by re-requesting the data differently if detected.
    - Additional updating changes.
  • Improved excel updating
    This version includes the new excel update processing that has been in development for a couple of years providing up to 3 times faster refreshing time on opening (with data pre-requested).

  • Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable (version 14.28.29913
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.
    Once the runtime libraries are installed they would not need to be installed again in the future for xlq or another program requiring them.

    If the runtime libraries are not already on your computer and you prefer to not have to reboot as part of the install, you may install them first from here:
    32bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 runtime libraries version 14.28.29913
    64bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 runtime libraries version 14.28.29913

21.1

12 April 2021
 
  • New Versioning
    Rather than just increment .x version of each update, the new versioning is more meaningful, i.e. XX.YZ XX will be the year 20(21), and Y will be the sequence of releases for the year. .1 being first, .2 next etc. Z will refer to any minor updates.
  • One download, introducing xlq2Lite:
    To ensure all users benefit from xlq2 design changes and enhancements, going forward there will be one xlq2 download for everyone.
    A new xlq2Lite license will provide core xlq2 functionality, also ensuring all existing xlqPlus features remain and will be built upon.
    Some changes:
    • It is now possible to download and install xlq2 without a license, which will run as a trial with all xlq2Lite features for around 3 weeks, with the possibility to request a full xlq2 trial (3weeks), allowing up to 45 days to trial all functionality.
    • A valid and up to date xlq2 license is still required to use all xlq2 features. When an xlq2 license expires, if it is not renewed it will continue to function as xlq2Lite until renewed.
    • When xlq2 is running with all xlq2 features the Q will be green, and when it is running as xlq2Lite it will be orange.
    • xlq2Lite will continue to run using an expired license. (Any features added that are indicated as requiring a valid license will no longer function until renewed).
    • What does not change is that a license will only work with versions released before its expiry date, and any renewal (extending the existing license by 1,2 or 3 years), or upgrade needs to be done within 3 month of expiry. After the 3 months the license is no longer eligible for the special discounted renewal pricing.
  • EODHD added as a data source (with special pricing for xlq2 users)
    EODHistoricalData has been added as a new data source providing vast amounts of new data and new possibilities. It is impossible to cover all changes here as there are hundreds of new formulae along with new views within xlq2. All new formulae are documented in xlq2demo.xlsx and elsewhere on the site
    • Over 60 different worldwide exchanges are covered.
    • Including virtual exchanges covering forex, commodities, cryptos, bonds, indexes etc.
    • Detailed options data is also available
    • Historic day / week / month data is available as unadjusted, splits adjusted or dividend and split adjusted
    • Delayed snapshot data.
    • Historic dividends, splits, earnings, financials available for many markets going back over 20 years
    • Upcoming dividends, splits, earnings and targets for many markets
    • Historic short interest
    • Other detailed statistics / fundamentals.
    • Bulk data requests including all data for a market day etc.
    • Index constituent data
    • Extra formulae for Cryptos, Bonds ...
    • and more.
  • New formulae for the xlq2 day data source (underlying data provided by iex cloud)
    xlqIndustry, xlqSector, xlqWebsite, xlqCEO, xlqSecurityType, xlqDividendPayDate and xlqNextEarningsDate (date should be upcoming but is more often the prior date)
  • New formulae for CoinMarketCap
    PercentChange30day, PercentChange60day, PercentChange90day
  • Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable (version 14.28.29913
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.
    Once the runtime libraries are installed they would not need to be installed again in the future for xlq or another program requiring them.

    If the runtime libraries are not already on your computer and you prefer to not have to reboot as part of the install, you may install them first from here:

    64bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 runtime libraries version 14.28.29913
Above: New versioning. One download for all. New xlq2Lite (including all xlqPlus functionality and more)
  • All licenses
  • included with xlqPlus license and above
  • requires xlq2 license
Below: Prior versioning is used. Seperate downloads for xlq (xlqPlus / xlqLite) and xlq2

29 June 2020 (release 6.7)
6 July 2020 (xlq2 release 6.71)
23 July 2020 (release 6.72)
1 September 2020 (release 6.73)
4 September 2020 (release 6.73a)
27 November 2020 (xlq2 release 6.74)
 
  • xlq2 6.74 update
    - The xlq2 historic source with underlying data from iex cloud will no longer be supported after 1 December due to iex removing key data.
    xlq2 6.74 has been updated accordingly.
  • 6.73 update
    - Interactivebrokers compatibility update (forex, bonds, commodities, bills)
    - TDAmeritrade compatibility update (avoids errors while TDA fixes problems with certain option symbols)
    - Update Tiingo crypto handling for last price (6.73a)
  • 6.72 update
    - Interactivebrokers compatibility update (equities and warrants)
  • xlq2 6.71 update
    - fix a problem with xlq2 data source upcoming events not showing after a refresh.
    - Update TDA-SNAP (and TDA in snapshot mode) to increase symbol limit when update frequency is increased to 2,10, 20 or 240 minutes).
    - xlqDelete will remove all symbols for a source if *** is passed e.g. =xlqDelete("***","xlq2"). Can also be used with a macro or programming language when finished working with a selection. Should not be called repeatedly.
    - Deleting all historic symbols for a source in the stock manager is much faster, and also may be done programmatically with xlqhDelete("***", source). xlqhDelete will return 0 if succesful, or an error if unable to delete if background processing is being performed.
  • This update is a major update and includes workbook initialization improvements, especially for .xlsx and .xlsm file formats (Excels binary files, i.e. .xlsb remains the recommended format).
  • Xlq2Bridge will now close automatically if it detects excel is no longer communicating with it.
  • TDAmeritrade
    This version supports TDAmeritrade's new interface.
    They will be ending support for the old later this year. xlqPlus supports this providing all equivalent functionality where possible for a seamless transition. Signed in with a TDAmeritrade account support for free streaming real-time data, intraday backfill, and historic data for US equities and indexes continue to be available, as well as streaming real-time options.
    Streaming data is limited to 500 symbols
  • For TDAmeritrade, it is now possible for you to use a personal consumer key for their API rather than the default for xlq.
    This will eliminate recent connection and request errors from occurring.
    To make the change you would need to register and request a consumer key with TDAmeritrade, then enter it into xlq. This page (XLQ_TDAmeritradeGuide) has been setup providing detailed instructions.
  • When xlq is running it is now possible to press Alt-Ctrl-Shift-T to display the TDA authorization window.
  • The following formulae are now also supported for TDAmeritrade in xlqPlus:
    xlqAverageVolume
    xlqDividendAmount (also xlqDividendRate)
    xlqBeta
    xlqSharesOutstanding
    xlqPricePerBook
    xlqMarketCapVal
  • Addtional TDAmeritrade support is available via xlq2, including for real-time futures (e.g. /ES) and currencies (e.g. EUR/USD).
  • In xlq2 if you do not have a TDAmeritrade account it is possible to work with delayed snapshot (equities, indexes, options, futures and currencies) and historic.
  • In xlq2 you may further control the TDAmeritrade streaming data by choosing the speed of updates as follows:
    500 ms
    750 ms
    1000 ms (default)
    1500 ms
    3000 ms
    5000 ms
    Or to return the data as real-time x minute snapshots (as per the snapshot setting)
  • In xlq2 you may enable a 2nd TDAmeritrade snapshot source (TDA-SNAP), with its own interval. This will allow for example to only stream real-time data for the symbols you need while monitoring others, only updated every couple of minutes.
    (If signed in to TDAmeritrade, TDA-SNAP will return real-time snapshots, if not, delayed).
  • The following additional formulae are supported for TDAmeritrade in xlq2:
    xlqCusip
    xlqAverageVolume10
    xlqAverageVolume3M
    xlqPRRatio
    xlqPCFRatio
    xlqQuickRatio
    xlqCurrentRatio

    xlqShortInterestToFloat
    xlqShortInterestDaysToCover
    xlqDividendGrowthrate3Year
  • XLQ2 source:
    The entire update processing has been redesigned and optimized. The old update processing will continue to be supported for a couple of months before being phased out.
  • XLQ2 source:
    Historic earnings data is now available for quarters and years, with the views being updated accordingly. The original formulae starting with xlqhEarnings have been renamed to xlqhEarningsQ… and the yearly are now xlqhEarningsY…
  • XLQ2 source:
    Historic data is now also available for the following countries:
    Belgium (suffix -BB)
    Canada (suffix -CV or -CT) previously supported

    Ireland (suffix -ID)
    Mexico (suffix -MM) previously supported
    Netherlands (suffix -NA)
    Portugal (suffix -PL)
    United Kingdom (suffix -LN)
  • Norgate Data:
    For Australia it is now possible to work with the partial day snapshots during the current market day, which are updated automatically. The -1, or current date reference will return the most recent values, with prior close becoming -2 if more recent data is available.
  • Yahoo:
    processing has been updated to avoid symbols being returned as not available.
  • Xlq2Demo.xlsx is now included with the xlqPlus installation, allowing for the possibility to consult the extra functionality even though the formulae will not work. It has also been updated with a new TDA sheet.
  • Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable (version 14.26.28720)
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.
    Once the runtime libraries are installed they would not need to be installed again in the future for xlq or another program requiring them.

    If the runtime libraries are not already on your computer and you prefer to not have to reboot as part of the install, you may install them first from here:
    32bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 runtime libraries version 14.26.28720

    Historic mutual fund data is now also available. Financial and dividend data are now available for a lot more symbols including for OTC and mutual funds.
  • TDAmeritrade login procedure will change on 31 December 2019. After that date the old login process will no longer work. This version supports the new login process where you no longer need to provide your account or password to xlq, using OAuth2 instead.
  • This update supports IQFeeds updated 6.1 protocol and would require using iqconnect 6.1.020 or later. It can be downloaded from here
  • This version has been updated to maintain compatibility with recent changes at Yahoo. These breaking changes have been rolled out over the last week.
  • As it has now been more than 2 years since xlqLite sales ended, effective immediately renewal or extending of xlqLite licenses is no longer possible. New releases of xlq will continue to support xlqLite license that are valid, and it will remain possible to upgrade the license to xlqPlus until 3 months after the expiry date.

5 September 2019
 
  • New data source "XLQ2" available in XLQ2 (with around 200 formulae added to cover the extra information)
    - Data is managed from dedicated xlq2 servers offering a range of data complementing existing sources, covering US equities including:
    - Upcoming Dividends, Splits, Earnings along with estimates and target pricing
    - Historic quarterly (12 quarters) and yearly (4 years) Balance sheet, Income statement, Cash flow, and up to 5 years of historic Earnings, Dividends and Splits.
    - Historic Day data (up to 15 years, also for OTCs)
    - Real-time IEX or delayed snapshot data with frequency configurable via preferences.
    - Other information such as industry, sector, website, CEO, number of employees, market cap, beta, float, dividend rate, yield, pe ratio, pre calculated change percentages etc. For full list please consult xlq2demo.xlsx.
    - This service is offered free to xlq2 users.
    - Underlying Data is provided by IEX Cloud.
    - click here for more info.
  • Historic views within XLQ2 have been updated to show the new data. The historic period view will now include upcoming dividends, historic earnings, and a new tab for upcoming earnings announcements along with estimates and target price information.
  • IEX has been removed as a source due to the service being discontinued.
  • Xlqfx wrappers (xlqfx and xlqfxtatic) have been modified to work with formulae such as xlqhNorgate taking 3 string fields.
  • CoinMarketCap - You may now choose the update interval for CoinMarketCap, to have a lower frequency if monitoring 24/7, or higher if using one of their paid tiers.
  • xlqCompanion has 2 new fields that may be chosen from the field chooser, i.e. alert high % and alert low%. Working with the existing alert high and low $ fields. These new fields will work like the trailing stop % showing how close the $ alerts are to being triggered.
  • Yahoo - a prior fix to clean data such as for Australia where dates were offset by one day has been removed. Previously the returned data was all offset, or all correct, but the data now returned from yahoo can be both incorrect and correct depending on the date returned, reducing the possibility of effectively applying a fix so is now left as is.
  • Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable (version 14.22.27821
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.

  • Stockwatch supported as new historic source
    - Unlike other sources, this data is retrieved per market day and per exchange and not per symbol, including for all options traded.
    - Supports US and Canadian exchanges, and you may choose in preferences which you wish to work with.
    - Requires an Intermediate Subscription with Stockwatch (around C$ 10 per month).
    - Due to the number of symbols, if using options (> 500,000), it is more suited for near-term analysis or when data for numerous options are required.
    - Works well with the filters in the historic and historic period view to find symbols based on indicator values.
    - click here for more info
  • Norgate Data - new preference setting to "disable NDU connection".
    If active Norgate will be removed from xlq as a source until re-activated and will not try connect with NDU.

    - (Tiingo has expanded on the number of symbols covered and may be used as additional real-time or historic data is required).
  • Interactivebrokers -
    This version now uses their latest API and should avoid/eliminate timeout restrictions if you hit any of their throttle limits, in which case requests are queued and not rejected.

  • SuperTrend -
    New formula xlqhSuperTrend, as well as weekly/month/xlqxh and intraday variants, allowing you to calculate the super trend. You may change the settings for the number of periods for the ATR and multiplier, and may choose how the ATR is calculated (Wilder / SMA / EMA).
  • This version includes updated handling of day/real-time data. It lays the groundwork for future updates with the base methods and memory handling being faster and more efficient. As a result any stored day data from previous versions will not be compatible and the data will be re-requested.
  • Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (version 14.16.27024)
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.
    Once the runtime libraries are installed they would not need to be installed again in the future for xlq or another program requiring them.

  • Added the possibility for xlq to display a popup message concerning information on some recent event.
    The message will be displayed up to 5 times, unless dismissed and the functionality may be disabled under general preference settings by changing “Enable Information Alerts” to no. As emails are only sent for new major releases and not minor builds, this method can now be used to notify of such updates and possibly other events such as a source outage, a breaking change etc. Messages will be kept to a minimum.
  • CoinMarketCap
    New formula =xlqPriceInBitcoin(), to also return their prices in bitcoin. xlqPrice continues to return the US Dollar value.
    A crash that could occur requesting data from CoinMarketCap has been eliminated.
    Duplicate symbols are now handled by appending a number to those lower on the list
  • Yahoo
    Includes a number of extra checks and routines to clean Yahoo's downloaded data including for European and Asian historic data where their date references are currently incorrect.
    For example Australian day data being referenced as Sunday to Thursday, and monthly as the month before (US symbols return a date of the 1st of the month, Europe and Asia will return the same data referenced as the last day of the prior month). Xlq will now look for the different problems in the data and correct the dates.

    Compatibility change: Yahoo’s old download service returned the Forward Earnings per Share, which was returned via =xlqEarningsPerShare, they also return EPS estimates which they no longer do. Their new service now returns “eps trailing 12 month” and “eps forward”. For this version going forward, “eps trailing 12 month” will now be returned via =xlqEarningsPerShare, and “eps forward” will be returned via =xlqEPSEstCurrentYear.
  • New formulae xlqhAveVolume (+ week and month) has been added, calculated based on the preference settings. To avoid the need to specifically calculate one using the available xlqxh versions.
  • New preference setting for DMI/ADX allowing you to choose the calculation method (weighted (default) or EMA) for the xlqxh calculated versions. A separate preference setting remains for the xlqh versions.
  • This version also includes numerous internal updates as well as updated supporting libraries.
  • Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (version 14.12.25810)
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.
    Once the runtime libraries are installed they would not need to be installed again in the future for xlq or another program requiring them.

    If the runtime libraries are not already on your computer and you prefer to not have to reboot as part of the install, you may install them first from here:
    32bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 runtime libraries version 14.12.25810
    64bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 runtime libraries version 14.12.25810

6.0

12 January 2018
 
  • CoinMarketCap
    has been added as a datasource.
  • In addition to pricing info, the following new formulae have been added to support their data:
    xlqRank
    xlq24hVolume
    xlqMarketCapVal
    xlqAvailableSupply
    xlqTotalSupply
    xlqMaxSupply
    xlqPercentChange1h
    xlqPercentChange24h
    xlqPercentChange7day
  • xlqMarketCap and xlqMarketCapMkt (which returned results as a string) have been removed and replaced by xlqMarketCapVal, which now returns a numeric value (from yahoo and iqfeed).
  • New xlqCryptoCurrencies.xlsx sample spreadsheet included with install.
  • Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (version 14.12.25810)
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.

  • Interactivebrokers
    Xlq now works with the latest interface to Interactivebrokers and will automatically return delayed quotes if you do not have a real-time subscription. Even though delayed pricing can be returned, to receive historic data / backfill or other values a real-time subscription is still required.
  • Yahoo
    Yahoo day quotes are again available. On November 1 Yahoo stopped their old day quote download service and were initially removed as a source. But it appears that they have developed a new service returning many of the fields that were available previously (although some have been removed). With no information available, there could be changes. As a result, there is now an option in xlq preferences / data source specific / Yahoo to “Enable as day source”, which is set to yes. If set to no, yahoo, as a source for day data would be removed from all processing.

    The formulae no longer supported are xlqShortRatio, xlqDivPerShare, xlqPricePerSales, xlqEPSEstNextYear, xlqEPSEstNextQtr, xlqPEGRatio and xlqEBITDA.
  • A new day and historic source, “<unused>”, has been added which can be used to disable any request. This will allow for example in xlqCompanion to turn off day requests, either as default or per row.
  • A workaround has been included to avoid the problem of #Name when opening an excel file when clicking on a link, caused due to a recent excel update. i.e. when opening via a link, com addins are only being loaded after the workbook is initialized, rather than before as should be the case. For an alternative fix to change the order, or for more info see xlq support
  • The sale of new xlqLite license will stop around the end of the year. Existing xlqLite license will continue to be supported and may be renewed etc.
  • Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (version 14.10.25017)
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.
    Once the runtime libraries are installed they would not need to be installed again in the future for xlq or another program requiring them.

21 September 2017
 
  • Yahoo
    Historic:
    Yahoo are now returning split adjusted open, high, low and unadjusted close data (previously this data was unadjusted for splits).
    Due to this change, to keep things standard, the default close returned by Yahoo will now be split adjusted only.
    In xlq preferences / data source specific there is now a new setting to choose to return the dividend adjusted close as xlqhClose (and to be used in calculations).
    There is also an additional setting to now adjust the open, high and low by the dividend adjustment, allowing for the first time to use a dividend adjusted open, high, low and close.
    You must change the settings in xlq preferences to work with yahoo’s dividend adjusted data and any symbols should be deleted so that the data is re-requested.
    Regardless which adjustment is chosen, the original close values are available via xlqhAdjustedClose and xlqhUnadjustedClose.
    Historic data is again available from Yahoo for currencies and Dow indexes.

    Day Data:
    Xlq now requests Yahoo day data using SSL / https.
  • Google
    On September 5 Google removed support for current day price downloads. As a result Google has been removed as a day source.

    A couple of days later Google resumed their service for historic data which will continue to be supported.
    Historic data for mutual funds and currencies is now available via Google via xlqhClose (i.e. not open, high, low)
    Currencies will have the syntax EURUSD:CURRENCY
    And mutual funds as DWUGX:MUTF

    Occasionally Google is missing prices for the close, high, and less often the open, leaving gaps in the data with those prices being 0 which can impact calculations.
    In xlq preferences / data source specific / Google it is now possible to set an option to have those values replaced by the close reducing the impact of the 0 prices.
    If the open is also available the high/low will be set appropriately. This will also modify those values for currencies and mutual funds. The default is to not adjust.
  • TDAmeritrade
    The status view will now be shown if there is no valid login info showing a corresponding message, and xlq will not try to connect until a new id / password has been entered.
  • New formulae: xlqxhOnBalanceVolume as well as weekly, monthly equivalents.
  • In addition for formulae using the Type parameter, 2 new types have been added for Volume (20) and On Balance Volume (21). Using xlqxhFlexAve with OnBalanceVolume will allow for a signal line to be plotted. The OnBalanceVolume type is also available for intraday calculations (There is no intraday formula for On Balance Volume but it can be accessed with xlqxiFlexAve using an sma of 1).
    The updated type list is:
    0 Close
    1 Open
    2 Low
    3 High
    4 Typical Price (high + low + close) / 3
    5 Weighted Price (open + high + low + close) / 4
    6 Rate of Return (%Change)
    7 Range (high-low)
    8 True Range
    9 ATR%
    10 CLOP (close - open)
    11 CLOP% (close - open)/open
    12 HIOP (high - open)
    13 HIOP% (high - open)/open
    14 LOOP (low - open)
    15 LOOP% (low - open)/open
    16 CLLO (close - low)
    17 CLLO% (close - low) / low
    18 CLHI (close - high)
    19 CLHI% (close - high) / high
    20 Volume
    21 On Balance Volume
  • New formulae: xlqhAroonUp, xlqhAroonDown, xlqxhAroonOscillator along with their xlqxh, weekly, monthly and intraday equivalents.
    A sample chart has been added to xlqDemo.
  • Bug Fixes:
    A number of bugs etc. have been fixed, most notably a crash caused when a computer wakes up from Sleep mode.
    Keltner Channels Upper and Lower have been corrected due to an error applying the stddev multiplier.
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (version 14.10.25017)
    This version uses an update to the c++ runtime libraries.
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.

5.7

22 May 2017
 
  • Updated to re-enable Yahoo historic downloads using their new method (requiring https cookie and crumb).
    xlq will only connect for historic data if a valid cookie is returned, avoiding connection errors if any further changes occur
    With the upcoming merger of Yahoo with AOL under the name Oath further breaking changes could be expected, and updates will be posted here.
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (version 14.10.25017)

5.6

20 March 2017 (release 5.6)
14 April 2017 (release 5.61)
 
  • 5.61 Technical update fixing all reported problems found since the 5.6 release. These include
    changes to IQFeed afterhours intraday handling,
    A problem with IQFeed if it was already being used by another program subscribed for the same symbol,
    A problem with xlqhEarliestDate,
    A problem with the Q icon possibly remaining on the task bar after program exit when xlq was started by another program.
  • New formulae: xlqxhFlexAve, xlqxhFlexAveSlope, xlqxhFlexAveIntercept, xlqxhFlexAveStdDev along with their weekly, monthly and intraday equivalents.
    The formulae will calculate different averages on the underlying data (see data types below). The types of averages (specified as a parameter) currently supported are:
    0 SMA

    19 CLHI% (close - high) / high
  • Intraday data handling has been improved.
    It is now possible to work with up to 2000 bars of intraday data. To increase, or reduce the number of intraday bars, change the xlq preference settings.

    Additional 15 and 30 second intervals have been added (backfill available from IB and IQFeed).
    Backfill will now only be requested if supported by source, but is still possible to use interval without backfill.
  • New formula xlqIntraEarliestPeriod, returning the earliest -x reference for the intraday series.
  • IQFeed:
    New formulae:
    xlqBidTime, xlqAskTime for the time of the bid and ask change.
    xlqIsMarketOpen will return 1 if market is open for the symbol, if not 0.

    New IQFeed preference settings:
    “Ignore Pre-market Data” and “Ignore Afterhours Data” to filter the streaming data. There is a separate parameter for backfill data.
  • InteractiveBrokers:
    Implied Volatility now stored with Greeks if “Keep Last Greeks” Specified in xlq preferences
  • TDAmeritrade:
    New preference settings to apply a filter to market and/or backfill data limiting data to certain hours (to exclude pre or post market data).
  • The xlqPseudoHist… formulae allowing to store a small series of historic data built from day data while xlq is running, previously available for Yahoo, can now also be used with Google if activated in xlq preferences.
  • Other optimizations, changes and fixes. Help file and xlqDemo updated.

5.5

17 October 2016
 
  • Following the large number of changes to 5.4, this version, based on feedback, concentrates on tuning and stability. Many changes are internal, but include the following:
  • Improved on control key handling.
  • Fixed problem with xlqfxstatic when using 0 date or when used with aaii.
  • Fixed problems with COM interface introduced in 5.4.
  • Fixed crashes based on crashreports.
  • InteractiveBrokers:
    Fixed problem working with WAR (warrant) or CMDTY data types.
    Detects when tws shuts down and can re-connect automatically. Also detects when tws updates to new version and handles accordingly.
    Now possible to reset the connection with Interactivebrokers from the IB day status view.
    New xlq preference setting to “Keep last Greeks” from one trading session to the next, i.e. during the time that they are not provided by IB.
  • Improved handling of the IQFeed data stream.
  • Supports recent changes with Yahoo and handles new messages.
  • Improved handling of xlqCompanion column settings ensuring changes made to the different views are always stored, and the settings for view 1 are always stored with the data.
  • Xlq stock manager column settings now unique per source.
  • Row headers will now automatically resize to show the full row number.
  • Fixed problem with formulae using the type parameter (other than 0 (close) when the underlying data is refreshed (left overnight, or selected from menu).
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 (version 14.0.24212)
    This version uses an update to the c++ runtime libraries.
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.
    Once the runtime libraries are installed they would not need to be installed again in the future for xlq or another program requiring them.

    If the runtime libraries are not already on your computer and you prefer to not have to reboot as part of the install, you may install them first from here:
    32bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 runtime libraries version 14.0.24212
    64bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 runtime libraries version 14.0.24212

5.4

24 June 2016
 
  • A major update with redesigned excel cell updating to make better use of the bridge:
    - Making this the fastest xlq yet. (e.g. a test with over 500,000 data points refreshes over 6 times faster.)
    - Memory usage has also been considerably reduced.
    - Can now detect and fix the most common issues with addins and the bridge.
  • New formula for True Strength Index:
    xlqhTrueStrengthIndex, xlqhTrueStrengthSignal and xlqhTrueStrengthHistogram, along with xlqxh and intraday versions.
  • New formula for Up Down Volume Ratio:
    xlqhUDVR and xlqhUDVRSlope, along with xlqxh and intraday versions.
  • New formula for Symbol Count (day sources):
    xlqSymbolCount will now return the number of symbols that are currently active.
    xlqUninitializedSymbolCount will return the number of symbols for the source that have not yet received any data from the feed. When a connection with a streaming feed is reset the count will again include all the symbols until re-initialized.
  • Possible to reset the IQFeed or TDA streaming feed using xlqdelete with special parameters:
    =xlqDelete("RESETCONNECTION","IQFEED" or "TDA").
  • IQFeed:
    Xlq now supports IQFeed’s new microsecond protocol and would require IQConnect 5.2 or later
    Excel cannot display microseconds, but it is possible to view the milliseconds by formatting the cell with .000 e.g. dd-mm-yy h:mm.ss.000.
    Stream handling has been redesigned to be faster and handle a lot more data, ensuring no lag, even when streaming 1800 active symbols with intraday calculations.
  • InteractiveBrokers:
    The interface with InteractiveBrokers has been updated to use their POSIX interface which has been customized to ensure better handling of Greeks.
    New preference setting “ignore pre-market data”.
  • TDAmeritrade:
    Processing has been optimized and a problem which could cause a crash has been fixed.
  • AAII:
    Support for AAII Stock Investor Pro 4.5 with the following new fields:
    Dividend Total Q1-Q8, Y1-Y7 and 12m
    EPS Diluted Normalized Q1-Q8, Y1-Y7 and 12m
    Shares Diluted Q1-Q8, Y1-Y7
  • Accessibility:
    Improvements have been made to xlq and xlqCompanion making them more friendly for use with screen readers (such as window-eyes) for the blind or visually impaired.

    Overall keyboard support has been improved:
    - In the stock manager ctrl-tab (and ctrl-shift-tab) may be used to move between tabs, and when ctrl-enter is pressed the day view or historic view will be displayed for the symbol on the active row. (alt tab will again set focus to the stock manager). Pressing ctrl-I will display the intraday view and activate the symbol.
    -Ctrl-M will display the mouse menu.
    -Ctrl-R will refresh the display
    -Ctrl-S will show the add symbol dialog.
    -Standard windows shortcuts such as ctrl-c, ctrl-a will also work.
    -support for Ctrl-M, ctrl-R and ctrl-S are also available from the other grid views, with ctrl-tab being available when there are tabs for different views etc.

    -From the status view, the following shortcuts have been added:
    -Ctrl-Tab, ctrl-shift-tab will move through the different status views.
    -Ctrl-D will clear the contents of the current log.
    -Ctrl-L will select all the contents from the current log and copy it to the clip board.
    -Ctrl-P will pause the updating of the logs.
    -Ctrl-R will reset the connection (when on the TDA or IQFeed day status view).

    From the Day list view Ctrl-Enter and Ctrl-I will now also display the day view and intraday view for the selected symbol.
  • #Busy is now shown when a symbol has been requested but no data has yet been received from the source.
  • Help file and sample spreadhseets have been updated (Demo Spreadsheets are now .xlsx and no longer .xls).
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 2 (version 14.0.23918)
    This version uses an update to the c++ runtime libraries.
    The install process will check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.
    Once the runtime libraries are installed they would not need to be installed again in the future for xlq or another program requiring them.

    If the runtime libraries are not already on your computer and you prefer to not have to reboot as part of the install, you may install them first from here:

    64bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 runtime libraries version 14.0.23918

5.3

16 October 2015
 
  • Major update with completely re-written excel add-in:
    - Optimized processing.
    - New Ribbon interface (Excel 2010 and later).
    - Expanded excel insert Function / Fx information with more details for formula / parameters, version, supported sources and includes link to help on web page.
    - New =xlqFx as alternative wrapper for working with formulae.
    - New =xlqFxStatic, an alternative formulae wrapper were cell contents will remain static, only updating when alt-ctrl-f9 is pressed (or via VBA calling Application.CalculateFull). This is now also the recommended method if using xlq formulae within VBA and examples in macros and help file have been updated.
  • New xlqBridge program:
    Working with the new addin, the xlqBridge runs in the background, being started and closed by excel as needed. It allows for a 3-way communication between excel and the xlq data engine allowing for a better workload distribution and avoids potential bottlenecks. Apart from the overall improvements and workbook load time (the workbook would need to be save with this version) it also virtually eliminates potential “server busy” errors or many reasons for #xlq being shown.
  • New XLQ Engine Preference Settings
    - There are new preference settings for each source (right click the Q and choose preferences, select data source specific and choose the source).
    Previous versions of xlq would maintain all symbols for ‘day data’ until deleted in the stock manager.
    You may now choose per source whether you would like the data kept or not. By default, the data is no longer kept. (These settings are for day data / real-time symbols only and not for historic data)
  • In xlq preferences under general settings there are 2 new options
    - Delete all data on exit – once and delete all data on exit – always.
    - Previously if there was a data corruption or for housekeeping purposes you needed to manually delete the data files. You may now choose the ‘once’ option to delete the files on exit automatically whenever needed.
    - The Always option is not recommended but if you require that every time you start xlq there is no existing data stored, it is now possible.
  • IQFeed:
    The real-time data from IQFeed has included ‘odd lot’ or non-qualifying data, which other sources would exclude. For example, small quantities that would not alter the last price or be included in volume.
    This data is now excluded from xlqPrice etc. by default, but you can include them via a new xlq preference setting for iqfeed.
    Regardless of whether you include or exclude them it is now possible to see the information separately with 3 new formulae
    xlqPriceNonQualifying, xlqSizeNonQualifying and xlqTimeNonQualifying
    If you now include the non-qualifying trades, they will also be included in the intraday (not backfill) which was not the case previously.
    There is now also a new preference setting for iqfeed intraday that allows you to only update the intraday on new trades only, rather than on bid / ask changes etc. which is the default.
  • InteractiveBrokers:
    The following new formulae are supported:
    xlqVolumeRate being volume per minute
    xlqTradeRate being trades per minute
    xlqNoOfTradesToday (also supported by IQFeed)
  • Google:
    xlq can now request historic data for more than US equities.
    Any historic request including an exchange as part of the symbol will use this interface, allowing you to request data for indexes and non US stocks,
    e.g. for the dow DJI:INDEXDJX, Danske Bank Copenhagen DANSKE:CPH, Haseko Corporation Tokyo 1808:TYO
  • xlqCompanion:
    New column and field ‘Days G/(L)’ showing the $ amount gained or lost for a held symbol for the current day. To add the column, select it from the field chooser and drag it to where you want.
  • New formula xlqhValidDateOrNext:
    This formula allows you to test a date to see if there is market data for that date. If the same date is returned it is a valid date, if not the following trading date is returned. Xlqhdate would return the prior trading day e.g. =xlqhValidDateOrNext("msft","1/1/2015","yahoo") would return 2 January 2015 whereas =xlqhDate("msft","1/1/2015","yahoo") would return 31 December 2014.
  • New formula for Money Flow Index:
    xlqhMoneyFlowRaw, xlqhMoneyFlowRatio and xlqhMoneyFlowIndex, along with xlqxh and intraday versions.
  • Full suport for Excel 2016, and windows 10
  • “insufficient memory” error using the com interface has been fixed.
  • YieldLowAve7Y was missing from the AAII field list and is now supported
  • Built with updated libraries and Visual C++ 2015.
  • All programs now signed with a new 256 bit digital certificate.
  • Help file and sample spreadhseets have been updated.
  • The installation process has changed.
    Starting with Visual C++ 2015 Microsoft will combine the c++ runtime libraries with the operating system.
    The install process will now check if they are present, and if not, will download and install them first. In such a case the installation process will require an internet connection and a reboot.
    Once the runtime libraries are installed they would not need to be installed again in the future for xlq or another program requiring them.

    If the runtime libraries are not already on your computer and you prefer to not have to reboot as part of the install, you may install them first from here:
    32bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 runtime libraries version 14.0.23026
    64bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 runtime libraries version 14.0.23026

5.2

24 February 2015 (release 5.2a)
13 February 2015 (release 5.2)
 
  • 5.2a release (24 February 2015)
  • Corrects a problem in 5.2 that could cause symbols to be dropped from the real-time stream when using TDAmeritrade.
  • 5.2 release (13 February 2015)
  • Redesigned processing of xlqxh formulae. If you have very large workbooks, or rely heavily on many xlqxh.. calculations opening and refresh times of large workbooks can be reduced by as much as 70%.
  • Google has been added as a day source providing real-time snapshot quotes and supports the following formulae:
    - xlqName
    - xlqPrice
    - xlqTradeTime
    - xlqChange
    - xlqChangePercent
    - xlqPreviousClose

4.9

20 August 2013 (release 4.92)
9 August 2013 (release 4.91) / updated 12 August 2013
24 June 2013 (release 4.9)
 
  • 4.92 release (20 August 2013)
  • Various updates and tuning to ensure compatibility with the recent changes at msn and yahoo.
  • including an important fix removing a memory leak (and possible crash) when handling the new msn processing.
  • 4.91 release 2 (12 August 2013):
  • Fixes a problem where yahoo historic data could be flagged N/A if earlier data than is available is requested.
  • 4.91 release (9 August 2013)
  • Support changes to MSN Historic data. On June 28th MSN stopped updating their existing historic data system. Since then they have introduced a new service covering only weekly data. This service, covers less historic periods, less symbols and does not contain data for the last partial week. xlq 4.91 covers these changes, allowing for this weekly data to be used via excel/com and removes msn as a source for historic day/month data. xlqCompanion no longer supports msn as an historic source.
  • More fault tolerance has been added for msn (current) day data to avoid valid symbols being marked as invalid.
  • Each source has had their own date system for week and monthly dates, 4.91 now standardizes across each source using the Monday date for week data and the 1st for monthly date. This is the best date as previously some queries using real dates could have returned the prior week/month data instead. Also this eliminates problems where weeks or months sometimes had more than one date entry for the same period. The exception to this is InteractiveBrokers weekly data as their weekly data is returned over a 7 day period rather than a calendar week.
    Due to the changes in this version, the installation will automatically remove the market data files to ensure all the data is correctly retrieved in the new format.
  • 4.9 release (24 June 2013)
  • Support for the new MSN. On June 19th MSN rolled out a new version of their web site, making the old connection for day data incompatible. The functionality has been restored, and all known issues solved. If other issues are found, or other changes are made to the site over the next weeks, new updates will be made available from the site. Note that the changes not only impact the connection, but also symbols. Currency and options symbols have changed as well as some indexes.
  • Support for IQFEEDs new millisecond precision (requires IQConnect 5.0.0.13). It is now possible to view the trade time (last trade, intraday tick data etc.) with millisecond precision. In excel this can be done by formatting the time cell with an extra .000 e.g. dd-mm-yy h:mm.ss.000. The xlqDay view and Intraday view will also show the millisecond time for iqfeed.
  • For IQFeed and Interactivebrokers there is now an option where you can specify an earlier time for historic updates. This allows for the historic data to be downloaded and used prior to midnight EST. The option would need to be enabled in xlq preference / data source specific / IQFeed or InteractiveBrokers. The “Historic Update Time” can be specified in local time, or EST, and for practical reasons should correspond with a time between 5pm and midnight EST.
  • New formula xlqhRateOfReturn (+ week and month version) being (close – prior close)prior close *100
  • New Formula xlqrhRateOfReturn (+ week and month version), being the rate of return between the start and end dates specified.
  • Changed xlqxhStdDev to also use a type of 6 to return the stddev of the rate of return,
    i.e. 0 = close, 1 = open, 2 = low, 3 = high or 4 = typical price, 5 = weighted price, 6 = rate of return
    Certain other formulae using calculations on the different types can also use the new type 6, the DrawUp/Down formulae, and Kauffman Efficiency Ratio
  • New Formula xlqrhStdDev (+week and month versions), allowing for the calculation of a stddev given a start and end date rather than a number of periods.
    For types: 0 = close, 1 = open, 2 = low, 3 = high or 4 = typical price, 5 = weighted price, 6 = rate of return
  • New formulae supporting the Trix indicator, i.e. xlqhTrix, xlqhTrixTrigger and xlqhTrixHistogram. Settings can be changed in xlq preferences with the default being a 15 day Trix and 9 day Trigger.
    xlqxh (+ week and month) versions of the Trix, TrixTrigger and TrixHistogram allowing for the periods to be specified in the formulae as well as
    xlqxhTrixDbMA, returning the partial calculation of the trix, i.e. the double ema (ema of ema) and
    xlqxhTrixTrMA, returning the partial calculation of the trix, i.e. the triple ema (ema of double ema) xlqxi…
    (intraday versions of the Trix formulae)
  • Thanks to the crash reports sent (included in 4.8), a number of crash situations have been detected and eliminated.
    Problems were also found and corrected which could have caused TDA and IQFeed to stop updating..
  • XLQ can now solve many situation which used to cause #xlq to be shown in excel.
  • Improve load speed on large spreadsheets.
  • XLQ will now detect the version and platform of excel during installation warning if there is an incompatibility. Also in xlq’s general status view, the version and platform of excel will be shown.
  • Various other changes.
  • xlqDemo.xls and help have been updated

4.8

15 January 2013
 
  • XLQ is built with supporting libraries for Windows 8 and Office 2013.
  • XLQ is now (also) completely 64 bit.
    xlq is available as 3 different downloads
    - 64 bit for users working with a 64 bit version of excel (also includes the 64 bit data engine, xlqCompanion etc.) on windows Vista and later
    - 32 bit for users working with 32 bit versions of excel on windows Vista and later.
    - XP Version (32 bit only) only for users working with windows XP. It contains the same functionality, but without requiring newer features found only in more recent versions of windows.
    (for further info please read the support page )
  • xlq now includes crash reporting:
    If xlq does crash you may now choose to send a crash report, which may help to determine the problem and make xlq more robust. These reports (which also allow you to include additional information) have already helped eliminate some rare crashes that have not been possible to replicate to date.
  • Increase amount of data returned by intraday backfill from InteractiveBrokers to maximum request limits (maximum in xlq 1000 bars)
    hourly bars increased to 34 days (roughly from 240 to 460 bars including afterhours)
    30 minute increased to 34 days (roughly from 500 to 910 bars including afterhours)
    15 minute increased to 20 days (1000 bars including afterhours or 500 market hour bars)
    5 minute increased to 10 days (from 695 to 1000 bars afterhours or 700 market hour bars)
    2 minute increased to 7 days (1000 bars including afterhours or 800 market hour bars)
    1 minute will return 1000 bars.
  • new formula xlq1YTargetPrice has been added returning the value from Yahoo.
  • New historic and intraday formulae for Parabolic SAR xlqhPSAR. xlqxhPSAR, xlqxiPSAR, and weekly monthly versions.
    xlqhPSARLongShort (etc.) will also return 1 or -1 indicating the direction.
  • New historic and intraday formulae for Force Index xlqhForceIndex. xlqxhForceIndex, xlqxiForceIndex and weekly / monthly versions.
  • New formula for Yahoo historic data xlqhAdjustedClose (xlqhwAdjustedClose, xlqhmAdjustedClose)
    Xlq already returned the xlqhUnadjustedClose, and allowed for the calculations to use either the adjusted close (default), or the unadjusted. When the unadjusted close was used for calculations (and xlqhClose) it was no longer possible to see the adjusted close. xlqhAdjustedClose now allows this. All historic yahoo data should be deleted and re-retrieved to populate the value correctly.
  • Fixed a problem with xlqxh formulae where they may not be recalculated if earlier data was requested, also resulting in #range being incorrectly shown.
  • Fixed a problem with xlqxi formulae not calculating correctly after backfill data was requested, especially concerning calculations depending on volume, open, high and low for new bars.
  • Improved excel processing when making many changes to the underlying data being requested
  • Include additional pacing violation checks for InteractiveBrokers as well as additional error logging
  • (InteractiveBrokers) Fix problem where certain symbols such as currencies would return the current days data included in historic.
  • xlq now uses NTP (Network Time Protocol) to work with exact times, and no longer http services.
  • new general status view has been added, currently showing the exact time.
  • Various other changes.
  • xlqDemo.xls and help have been updated

3.8

22 February 2008
 
  • xlqxhMaxLSMA (+ week and month versions) - Returns the Max of Least Square Moving Average for all periods between the 2 period ranges specified. The LSMA will be calculated for each and the maximum value for each result is returned. The 3rd period parameter specifies on what data the lsma is calculated, i.e. 0 = close, 1 = open, 2 = low, 3 = high or 4 = typical price.
  • xlqxhSlope (+week and month version) being the slope of the lsma calculation.
  • To better differentiate range formulae new range formulae will have the syntax xlqrh…, e.g.:
  • xlqrhDrawDownFromHighest (+w+m) - return the % drawdown from the highest value in the period range to the end value. The 3rd period parameter specifies on what data the drawdown is calculated, i.e. 0 = close, 1 = open, 2 = low, 3 = high or 4 = typical price. When Close is specified, the drawdown will be from the highest close in the range to the last close of the range. For the other values, it will be from the highest value to the low, e.g. from the highest high in the series to the low of the last period.
  • xlqrhMaxDrawDownFromHighest (+w+m) - Calculates the % DrawDown as above for each period in the range, and return the highest (MAX) value calculated within the series.
  • xlqrhDrawUpFromLowest (+w+m) – similar to xlqrhDrawDownFromHighest but returns the % drawup from the lowest value in the period range to the end value. When Close is specified, the draw up will be from the lowest close in the range to the last close of the range. For the other values, it will be from the lowest value to the high.
  • xlqrhMaxDrawUpFromLowest (+w+m) - Calculates the % DrawUp as above for each period in the range, and return the highest (MAX) value calculated within the series
  • Add new sheet to xlqDemo showing a nice example of using the above formulae.
  • Support new IQFeed client, allowing faster processing with less cpu usage. IQFeed subscribers should also install the new client software version 4.3.0.3
  • + is now allowed in IQFeed symbols correcting a problem with not being able to show symbols such as +cl# (crude oil), +ho# (heating oil) for day and historic.
  • Fix problem with IQFeed weekly and monthly historic data (if you use their week and month data, delete the symbols in the stock manager to re-retrieve the values)
  • Optimize handling of IQFeed intraday backfill retrieval.
  • Futures and Options historic data from InteractiveBrokers will now show volume information.
  • Change minimum xlqxh... period value to be 2 (used to be 3).

  • New intraday formulae (function the same as their existing xlqxh… equivalents, but on intraday data (when an interval is set)
    xlqxiCCI (Commodity Channel Index)
    xlqxiSMATP (SMA of Typical Price)
    xlqxiSMATPMD (Mean Deviation of SMATP)
  • New COM formulae for intraday xlqIntraValue2, allowing the handling of the 2nd numeric parameter required for xlqxi formulae.
  • New historic formula xlqhLSMA and weekly and monthly equivalents, being the Least Square Moving Average. The LSMA is also known as the linear regression value, moving linear regression and regression oscillator. In preferences it is possible to choose the period range (default = 25), and whether the value is based on the close, open, low, high or typical price (default = close).
  • An xlqxh version of the LSMA, i.e. xlqxhLSMA and weekly and monthly equivalents, in addition to the period range, a 2nd parameter specifies whether the calculation is based on 0 = close, 1 = open, 2 = low, 3 = high or 4 = typical price.
    e.g. =xlqxhLSMA(“msft”,-1,25,4, ”msn”) will return a 25 day lsma based on the typical price.
  • New preference settings for InteractiveBrokers
    - You may now choose for all times to be returned in Eastern US time (not default).
    - You may now choose to have xlq ignore any data streamed afterhours (not default).

    By default not enabled. When enabled, their normally unadjusted Open, High and Low will be adjusted by the ratio between the unadjusted and adjusted close. The values will not reflect the real O/H/L adjusted for splits and dividends, but will provide a close equivalent of a high /low/close including these adjustments.
  • All programs have been signed with a new digital certificate.
  • xlqXh.. versions of the adx calculation, i.e. xlqxhDMIpositive, xlqxhDMInegative, xlqxhDX, xlqxhADX (and their weekly and monthly equivalents). Allowing the period range to be specified in the calculation, allowing the calculation of multiple adx’s, as well as using 0 for the period to have the data calculated into the current trading day
  • Messages from InteractiveBrokers are now included in the status view for historic data retrieval.
  • Historic range formulae will now return #error if date parameters are inverted or invalid.
  • Documentation and xlqDemo have been updated.

12 June 2007
 
  • xlqhMACDHistogram (being the difference between the macd and the macd trigger)
  • xlqxhMACD, xlqxhMACDTrigger, and xlqxhMACDHistogram and their weekly and monthly equivalents.
    These formulae will allow you to specify the periods within the formulae, taking an additional 2 parameters covering the 2nd ema, and the trigger,
    e.g. =xlqxhMACD("msft",-1,12,26, 9, "msn") for a 12/26 period macd and a 9 day trigger.)
  • In the COM interface, a new function xlqHistValue4, will allow you to use xlqxhMACD by specifying the additional parameters needed.
  • xlqhTypicalPrice being the (high + low + close) / 3
  • xlqhsmatp, xlqhsmatpmd and xhqhCCI and their weekly and monthly equivalents. These formulae, all part of CCI (Commodity Channel Index) calculations will use the period setting in xlq preferences (by default 20)
    xlqhsmatp = the sma of the typical price
    xlqhsmatpmd = the mean deviation of the smatp
    and xlqhcci the final calculation of the cci
  • xlqxhsmatp, xlqxhsmatpmd, xlqxhcci (+ week and month variations) are the same as above but you may specify the period range within the calculation.
  • All the above xlqXh… formulae will allow you to use a period of 0 to include the calculation on the last price information from the corresponding day source.
  • Support for IQFeed’s new servers (and client software) If you use IQFeed, to be compatible with their new servers, you must install their latest client 4.2.1.4.
  • The interface with excel has been optimized. This is the first step in a number of changes, but the effect should already show a notable improvement.
  • Improved intraday processing.
  • Updated compatibility with yahoo-eu and yahoo-uk [Note yahoo-uk will be removed in a future version as yahoo-eu returns the same results]
  • The historic database will be modified on the first run of version 3.5, this will happen transparently, but could mean the first startup could be slower if you have large databases.
  • Documentation and xlqDemo have been updated.

3.4

16 February 2007
 
  • Update to ensure compatibility with recent Yahoo historic changes.
  • Support for InteractiveBrokers historic (daily and weekly) data. (this includes for options data)
  • The following existing day formulae now work for InteractiveBrokers: xlqOpen, xlq52WeekHigh, xlq52WeekLow, xlqAverageVolume, xlqHistoricVolatility, xlqOpenInterest
  • The following new formulae now cover data from IB (not available from other sources)
    xlq13WeekLow, xlq13WeekHigh, xlq26WeekLow, xlq26WeekHigh, xlqImpliedVolatility
    xlqOptionCallOpenInterest, xlqOptionPutOpenInterest, xlqOptionCallVolume, xlqOptionPutVolume
  • New status views covering both historic and day data from InteractiveBrokers.
  • Add a new page to xlq preferences for InteractiveBrokers, allowing for a setting to choose whether afterhours market data is included or excluded from intraday / historic data. By default the data is included.
  • Allow for a bigger font to be used in xlq and xlqCompanion grids. To enable the alternate font, choose xlq preferences and select the file / save / other page, and enable the option “use bigger font…”.
  • Built with the latest updates for c++ and misc. related libraries.
  • Additional changes ensuring Vista compatibility.
  • Supports IQFeed’s new client software (4.2.0.7).
  • Miscellaneous other changes.

3.3

6 December 2006
 
  • Supports Excel 2007
    (note!: Earlier versions of xlq are not compatible with the new .xlsx file format. You will also need to be using the excel 2007 final release (or at least the beta 2 technical refresh (B2TR)) for xlq to function correctly.)
    XLQ continues to support versions of Excel starting from Excel 97.
  • Supports Windows Vista
    (note!: Various issues have been addressed making xlq compatible with windows Vista, including allowing it to be run as a standard user.
    Also under Vista, the default data directory will now be c:\Users\[user id]\AppData\Local\xlq, and no longer in the “program files…” directory. This does not change for prior versions of windows.)
    XLQ continues to support versions of Windows from Windows 98.
  • New historic range formulae xlqhHighestVolume, xlqhLowestVolume, xlqhHighestVolumeDate, xlqhLowestVolumeDate as well as their weekly and monthly equivalents. Equivalent columns / fields have been added to xlqCompanion based on the purchase date.
  • Added references to xlqxhAveVolume and xlqxhAveVolumeEMA (and their weekly and monthly equivalents) to xlqDemo.xls. The formulae have been around for a while but not mentioned in the documentation.
  • Due to recent changes concerning ecn data, yahoo-ecn as a source has been removed. Excel and com will report any reference to yahoo-ecn as an invalid source (a global replace will allow you to re-assign yahoo-ecn to another source if needed) xlqCompanion will automatically convert any reference of yahoo-ecn to yahoo-rt. Afterhours data is not currently accessible via the yahoo sources. If you require afterhours data iqfeed, or interactivebrokers should be used. For the same reason xlqPricePerEarningsMkt and xlqMarketCapMkt no longer function with any Yahoo sources (xlqPricePerEarnings and xlqMarketCap should be used instead).
  • Improved error handling in excel, including avoiding potential crashes.
  • Improved historic processing, avoiding current problems where looping could occur
  • Improved handling of invalid symbols for historic processing. If after a couple of attempts / days, no historic data can be retrieved for a symbol, it will be blocked from further processing, improving start up times and overall program performance. When blocked, in the stock manager, the status will include the text “BLOCKEDFORUPDATES”. Such symbols can be left to avoid reprocessing in the future. If you want to try and retrieve data for a symbol again, delete the entry in the stock manager.
  • New formula xlqVWAP, currently supporting data from iqfeed.
  • Fixed problem with sorting in xlqCompanion.
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes as per user feedback.

3.2

9 August 2006
 
  • Important update to ensure compatibility with recent Yahoo! changes. Resolves problems with Yahoo! real-time subscription returning sometimes delayed / sometime real-time.
  • Programs signed with new digital certificate extended by 1 year.
  • Fixed formatting problem in certain columns in xlq views (and xlqCompanion).

3.1

25 July 2006
 
  • XLQplus now allows you to work with up to 5 different AAII Stock Investor Pro databases simultaneously, allowing for numerous back testing possibilities. If you do not have old AAII SIP disks, AAII subscribers can download data going back to 2003. You need to specify the location of the different directories in xlq preferences.
  • In xlq’s COM interface, a new function xlqAAII2 has been added which allows you to specify the database value. (using xlqAAII defaults to dataset 0).
  • aaiiDemo.xls has been updated allowing you to change the database value on each page.
  • Updated xlq to reflect recent network changes which could cause historic data retrieval to possibly slow down and /or continue to process invalid symbols.
  • Fixed problem with InteractiveBrokers intraday backfill data when a frequency of x minutes specified.
  • New formula = xlqhSymbolsToProcess(source) allowing you to see how many historic symbols still need to be processed. This can be useful especially for macros etc, that have made historic requests to ensure the data has been retrieved. Using the formula with no source specified will return the total no of symbols to process for all sources.
  • Modify xlqhLastUpdate. If no symbol is specified, it will now return the time of the last update for the source specified. If in addition no source is specified it will return the last update for historic data for all sources.
  • New day formulae =xlqLastUpdate, like its historic counterpart it will return the time of the last update for the specific symbol / source.
  • Supports IQFeed’s new client software (4.1.2.0)
  • Fixed a problem where xlq could crash if trying to view data for a source that is not used.
  • A new option has been added to xlq Preferences / Excel options allowing you to disable the enhanced functionality that xlq uses in Excel 2002 and later. i.e. it will cause xlq to treat Excel 2002 and later as if it were Excel 2000.
    In certain cases where you are running a lot of vba macros it could provide a performance improvement, but in most cases using this option would cause a slowdown in Excel.
    If you change the setting, you would need to restart excel for the change to take effect.)
    (NOTE** If you are using the current beta of Excel 2007, you would need to enable this option at least until the next Excel beta. Microsoft are busy working on the underlying problem.)

3.0

13 March 2006
 
  • Support for streaming real-time (and intraday backfill) data from InteractiveBrokers. Covering equities, options, futures, forex, etc. etc. for more than 50 markets. Data is free if you have an account with them, and their trading commissions are extremely competitive.

  • Xlq’s day and intraday views will no longer require any additional cpu usage and will show changes as the data is streamed.
  • Fixed a problem in excel 2002 and later where under certain situations the data was not updated on opening the xls.
  • All xlq programs and supporting libraries have been ported to and are now built with the latest version of c++.
  • In excel 2002 and later, it is now possible to slow down updates up to a 2 minute interval (rather than 20 seconds) if required.
  • Fixed a problem with dmi calculations accidentally introduced in 2.91.
  • Fixed a problem with the saving of .csv files where the symbols contains a \.
  • Fixed a problem in xlqCompanion, which would crash if try to open an invalid file (or deleted file from the most recently used list).
  • Changed intraday csv files to store order as ohlc and no longer ochl.
  • Add additional error handling to excel 2000 and earlier.
  • A message will now be shown notifying when a support license is about to expire.
  • Changed documentation and references to the license names, which are now xlqPlus and xlqLite. XLQ now only refers to the program and concept, and not to the licensing or features included with a license.

  • New historic formulae beginning with xlqxh allowing you to specify the range within the formulae, with the format =xlqxh…(symbol, date ref., period range, source). The calculation is done "on the fly", and not pre-calculated as per the xlqh formulae. Weekly and monthly versions also exist (xlqxhw / xlqxhm)
    e.g. =xlqxhRSI(“msft”,-1,21,”msn”) will return the 21 day RSI for Microsoft from MSN.
  • It is possible to use a period of 0 with the xlqxh formulae allowing for the continued calculation results to be returned on the current days data, either to return the sequence during market hours, or allow you to work on calculations at day end before historic data becomes available.
  • The 36 new xlqxh formulae include xlqxhEMA, xlqxhSMA, xlqxhAveRange, xlqxhAveRangeEMA, xlqxhAveTrueRange, xlqxhAveTrueRangeEMA, xlqxhAveVolume, xlqxhAveVolumeEMA, xlqxhAveGain, xlqxhAveLoss, xlqxhRelativeStrength, xlqxhRSI and their weekly / monthly equivalents.
  • These new formulae (and their xlqh equivalent) will also ensure sufficient additional historic data is retrieved to calculate the values, i.e. if a 200 day average is chosen, the additional 200 days of data will be retrieved in addition to the earliest date required.
  • xlqCompanion
    New preference setting allowing you to choose whether the trailing stop calculation will use the latest price available or last close.

It is so uncommon in this day and age to receive top-level, human support and I appreciate that immensely. The quality, breadth and utility of your product is incredible, but even more impressive is the level of support you provided to me, just one individual customer. You may quote me on that. Thank you.

- C.B.

Wow, you did a lot of work on this version. New interface and other things as well. I must give you credit for being the most responsive software engineer that I've ever encountered. Every question that I've sent you over the many years (since 2003!!!) has been answered quickly and professionally. I just wanted to let you know that it is appreciated.

- M.N.

I have to say Leo that the last two versions have made some tremendous improvements to what has been for years an outstanding application. Thank you for your continued efforts.

- C.A.

Just to let you know that, the new version works much better & faster than the older one. I like it a lot, fantastic job you did!!!

- R.S.

Many thanks indeed for your clear and very rapid reply. I am not used to this type of quality service - I thought it went out of fashion years ago !!

- P.G.

In only 40 some days XLQ has helped me with a number of research projects I couldn't possibly have done without it and I'm now using it to help manage and track current trades and to alert me to potential new trades.

- D.P.

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for creating XLQ. I use it regularly for scanning/monitoring securities in Excel 2007.  I have programmed in trailing stops for securities I own and numerous techniques using indicators for securities on my watch list. The combination of Excel 2007 and XLQ has opened up nearly an unlimited capability that is only constrained by my imagination.

- E.H.

Thank you for the amazing package -- I use it daily and it's ridiculously useful! Others (.....) have added some of the features you have, but none of them even comes close to matching what you've built.

- R.B.

Your product is fantastic, amazing, and really strong. It has real enabling capability. Thank you for putting this into the market!

- R.G.

You have an exceptional customer service, you have always answered my questions, I thank you for that, made it really easy to use this software, will be your long term customer. Thanks.

- A.D.

I was halfway resigned to have to program something like this myself. Only it would have taken me forever, and I couldn't have done it half as well. Thanks!

- M.S.

I also want to thank you for making the XLQ program. It is something that is very useful and incredible helpful. Like it was made for my needs.

- J.T.

I have already modified your demo sheet to fit my needs.  Your program allows me to turn my excel spreadsheet into a total information center that updates automatically. It's elegant.

- W.H.

First, I want to say that your program is probably the finest piece of work I have ever seen. The depth is simply amazing. Congratulations and thanks.

- D.B.

Thanx, Leo.  You're a great sport.  By the way, partially because of the application of xlq in my screen, I have passed 30% up in the market this year!!!!

- B.H.

This is a wonderful product -- simple to use and just plain useful!

- C.B.

I want to say you have created THE ULTIMATE data interface software for traders like me who prefer to use Excel for everything. Thanks a bunch.

- M.Y.

I just wanted to say, that I very much like your xlq package. I have tried many similar products and this is by far the best I have come across. Simple, fuss-free setup, integrates well with Excel, and has its own stand alone interface to track your portfolio throughout the day. Since I am from Europe, and trade US, European and Japanese securities, the ability to use a variety of feeds simultaneously and transparently is particularly valuable to me.

- H.S.

I really appreciate your quick responses. And your program is terrific. The Plus version adds a lot with it‘s AAII interface. I’ll definitely register it since in the last week it has become an indispensable part of my stock analysis.

- R.S.

I found XLQ yesterday afternoon – and I am blown away by how useful it is. You really need to market this thing because it is AWESOME!!!

- D.B.

Your explanation was very good. I understand now and find it very useful. If you always reply so quickly to questions, I will have to believe that you supply the best and fastest support of any software company.

- D.H.

I have “dabbled” for several years creating many of the things you present in this great program. I first began using the “*.iqy” external query (update times horrendous), then Excel VBA and lately attempting to learn “C” or “C++” in order to have smoother, faster updates as well as a great appearing “front end”. Your program certainly is, by far, the leader and has the greater edge over any I have seen, or tried to accomplish. Thank you for such a great program.

- R.H.

You are a very special person to reply so quickly and I want to thank you again. I enjoy your program. It gives me everything I need, and I know there is so much more functionality that I'm not even exploiting.

- F.D.

I love your program. XLQ combined with the power of Excel brings limitless possibilities to manipulate data for better trading. I recommend it to everyone I know interested in trading.

- P.S.

Thanks for such a great program. I have no programming experience and was trying to find a way to do just what you have done. Only you did much more. It’s fantastic and reasonably priced too!

- D.T.

Thank you so much for your help and your phenomenal programming. XLQ is awesome.

- T.K.

I use your XLQ product all the time. Some of the best money I've ever spent on software.

- L.S.

First, a thank you for the excellent and useful adjunct to EXCEL. I seem to discover a new use every day – and I’m sure I haven’t even scratched the surface to utilize XLQ’s full potential. The new version is really great.

- W.H.

First let me say that I feel XLQ is terrific. I really appreciate the versatility you have made possible with this package. I have set up a few worksheets and find it easy to learn and use with the aid of the included demo sheets. This application has the potential in my opinion to be unmatched in power, efficiency and productivity.

- C.A.

Your software is on its way to becoming the only window that I need to the market’s numbers. With the ability to arrange thing EXACTLY the way I want them, and the use of conditional formatting to trigger alarms and display changes to suit my needs, I am gradually replacing all of the other market tools I’ve been using. I can’t be a more enthusiastic supporter of what you are doing. Thanks.

- W.G.

I'm wowed by your software!! I used to enter data in my spreadsheet for two hours for each update, and therefore only did it once or twice a week. Now I do it with the close each day - in about 30 seconds!!! And I've added some data points to help with my analysis that I just could not manage to maintain before. Thanks again for a great program, a great deal, and great support!!!!!

- R.K.

Your software is great. I'm hooked on the info I can generate for stock purchasing and selling using your program. In two weeks I've become an XLQ junkie.

- V.D.

Please let me tell you how much I have come to depend on XLQ in a short period. This is a great product!! You have made my job significantly more streamlined, and my tasks simpler and more elegant. Many, many thanks!

- L.D.

I have been evaluating XLQ for the past few weeks and am thoroughly impressed with the product. It is versatile, easy to use, accurate and very intuitive. It is a real bargain compared to competitive products plus it runs right from within Excel. Based on this I just entered my purchase order.

- M.M.

I ADORE your program. It has really helped me to learn about how the markets work, and building my own system indicator by indicator is the best way to learn.

- B.K.

Leo: count me as a satisfied customer. I gave it a good workout for a month, decided to buy it when it saved me 5 hours of administration the first week, and helped me do some studies I had been postponing for months due to slow data retrieval. Your product is smooth, fast and elegant with a very clean presentation. Well done!

- K.L.

The more I work with XLQ, the more I like it. It is fast! And so rich... I like it so much I have decided to adopt it as my #1 tool for the long term.

- S.C.

Thanks very much for writing XLQ - I like it very much as it gives me the opportunity to manipulate data as I want without a very steep learning curve.

- T.B.

I just downloaded a trial of XLQ and have been "playing" with it for hours. I am so impressed. I wish I would have known about your program years ago.

- D.F.

I just purchased your software and think it is the next best thing since the spreadsheet.

- R.D.

Thanks for the best (and least complicated) investing software out there!!

Your software is simply brilliant, for the last week that I have been trying it, I have been impressed no end.

- G.R.

Thanks, Xlq is a great piece of software, its actually saving me a heap of time and time is the precious commodity in these hectic days.

The XLQ interface with Excel is excellent. I have been waiting for this capability for years.

- H.A.

Please accept my thanks for your wonderful product - it is a pleasure to use.

- D.L.

Your software is just what I have needed. It provides me with the capability to customize data and construct charts which give me the views I like - not just what someone thinks I would like.

Firstly, let me say that the philosophy and idea behind XLQ is exactly what I am looking for.

It is a pleasure doing business with such a responsive person who obviously understands the value of good customer service. I have just registered and intend to make good use of this program.
