Author	Topic: IQFeed/Excel interface; how to get last month's HLOC ? (7 messages, Page 1 of 1)
AMA -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 183 Joined: Aug 1, 2007	Posted: Jan 20, 2020 01:39 PM Msg. 1 of 7 Hi - I currently use the IQFeed/Excel interface to stuff a spreadsheet. Works quite well. A cell might have something like the following in it, which will display the last trading price for MSFT: =IQLink\|msft!last Two questions, tho: * Pls point me to the list of available parms to use with this; can't find it. This used to be on the website somewhere, but it's been several years since I last saw it(I think). Or, maybe it was buried in some doc on using this interface. * I'm specifically interested in getting the previous day/week/month's High, Low, Open, Close values, so I can run 'em through some formulas. Any way to get this from the iQFeed interface, or do I -have- to use a 3rd party product like QCollector? I have a license for QC and know I can get this info there, but would rather not add an extra layer of software to the process, just to get some basic info.
