Excel Integration with Velocity 2.0 (RT + Historical)

Microsoft Excel is a super software capable of doing a lot of calculations and providing results easily, which many
Technical Analysis Applications would fail to provide. 

Eg.:- An Open interest Trading Sheet with Interpretation in Excel >>

Plan!

This Open interest Trading Excel sheet is available for Rs. 2499/- one time price:

The possibilities in excel are huge and are only limited to your imagination.

>> Velocity exploits the Excel's RTD Function to enable this ability. The RTD function is an excellent way to retrieve
real-time data from a program like TrueData.Velocity.2.0, that support COM automation. 

Also, the Excel's ADD IN functionality helps add forms for specifying your requirements of downloading Tick, 1, 5,
15, 60 min & EOD Historical Data.

                         

>> Along with all the other software Velocity 2.0 is able to send all the data (All NSE Equities, Indices, Futures &
Options) to excel while also sending this data to Amibroker, Ninja Trader 7, Multicharts etc.. 

You could use excel to design your own strategies, make new indicator, fire orders directly from excel and a lot lot
more. This article helps you understand how to get the data flowing into Excel.

The Excel Plugin enables the following fields. Use these in your formulas - LAST, OPEN, HIGH, LOW, PREV, BID,

Excel Formula to be entered =RTD("truedata.velocity",,"SYMBOL","LAST"). This will give the output as a string. To
convert it into a number make it e.g. =VALUE(RTD("truedata.velocity",,"NIFTY-I","OI")). The formula must be
entered exactly as shown here. The symbol name & the type of data request fields "HIGH", "LOW" etc....must be
entered in "CAPITAL LETTERS". 

Excel needs to be given  full Administrative Rights. You cannot directly run an Excel sheet by clicking on it or on
its shortcut, especially so in Windows 10, hoping that it has Administrative Rights. 

You need to start a Workbook with Admin Rights and then from there go to File > Open >> (and open your
concerned workbook). 

This will ensure that the workbook you have opened has full Admin rights. This is a Windows + Excel
requirement which has to be made to see the data flow into Excel.

1. To start with, please ensure that you have Velocity 2.0 installed on your PC. The Excel plugin does not work
with Velocity 1.0.
2. Please upgrade to the latest version of Velocity 2.0. The minimum build required is Build 4.0.0.1108. Excel has
been implemented from this version onward. (To check your version, open the Velocity front-end, go to 'About'
and check the Build number written there.
3. The Excel plugin has been tested and works seamlessly with Excel (32 & 64 Bit versions) 2013,2016.
4. This Excel plugin will not work for versions of Excel 2010 & below.
5. Recommended version is Excel 2013 (32 Bit). 
6. Now download & install the TrueData Excel Plugin (This is an additional requirement for integrating the data
with Excel). If you have a previous version of the plugin. you will need to uninstall that version and install the
latest version. The current version of the excel plugin is > File Version 4.0.0.1112. (To check this go to the
\TrueData\TrueData Velocity Excel Plugin folder & hover over 'TrueData.Velocity.RTD.dll'. The File version would
be shown)
7. The TrueData Excel plugin for 32 bit excel only can be downloaded from here >>   TrueData Excel 32 Bit Plugin

9. Having downloaded, install the same (use the Default path)
10. Please provide Full Administrative Rights to both Excel & Velocity, otherwise Excel will not be allowed by
Windows to pull the data from Velocity. If You see an Error #740 when you start Excel, it means that you
have either not given Full admin rights to Excel & Velocity or Windows is not allowing Excel to Access the data
because your User Access Control (UAC) is ON.
11. Open Excel & Go to File > Options > Add-ins... Here you need to enable both the COM & The Excel Add-ins.
