FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)


System Requirements

What are the system requirements for using Excel Price Feed?

The Add-in works only with the Windows version of Excel; the minimum version supported is Excel 2007.

If you wish to use the Add-in on an Apple Mac, then you can use Parallels for the Mac which enables the Windows version of Excel to run on a Mac.

Can I use the Excel Price Feed Add-in on multiple machines?

No, each subscription is valid for one machine only in order to avoid the sharing of subscriptions between multiple users.

If for some reason you need to change machine and move the Add-in to your new computer, please get in touch with us.


Data Sources

Are there any extra charges that I need to pay to the Data Providers?
Only one provider, EODHistoricalData.com, requires a paying subscription in order to access their data. There are no extra charges that you need to pay to Yahoo Finance, IG Index or Nasdaq.
What market data sources are included?

The Add-in can currently connect to 4 data sources:

Yahoo Finance IG Index / IG Markets EODHistoricalData.com Nasdaq
Additional Charge No No Yes No (optional)
User Account Required No Yes Yes Yes
Intraday Data Yes Yes No No
Fundamental Data Yes No Yes No
Streaming Market Data No Yes No No
Historical Data Yes Yes Yes Yes
Real time Client Sentiment Data No Yes No No

Do I need to have an IG Index account to use the Excel Price Feed add-in?
You only need an IG Index account if you want to access data provided by IG Index. If you only require data from Yahoo Finance or Nasdaq, then you don't need an IG Index account.
The only exception is historical Client Sentiment data. We source this data from IG Index but we store it on our side so you don't need an IG Index account to access it.
Do you provide Client Sentiment Data?
Yes, we provide both real time and historical Client Sentiment data that we source from IG Index. In order to access the real time Client Sentiment Data you need an IG Index account. However, you do NOT need to have an IG Index account to access the historical Client Sentiment Data.

Because IG Index does not make available Client Sentiment data historically, we download Client Sentiment data on an hourly basis and store it. That way we can make it available to our customers.

Please note that depending on the market, the earliest date for which we have historical data might differ (depending on when we started collecting it). In addition, we cannot guarantee the completeness of this data as there might be small gaps (in cases where for connectivity or other reasons, we failed to acquire it).

The payment system (or "payment gateway") that we rely on is Stripe. Stripe is used by millions of companies to handle their payments.

The details relating to your payment information are transmitted over a secure encrypted connection with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) directly to the payment platform. For this reason, at no time during the purchase procedure are we able to know, and then to keep on file, your credit card number, which is transmitted directly to Stripe.

The Add-in includes a link to your personal Subscription Dashboard where you can change your payment method and view your payment history.
