Thank you to both.

IB API is designed to allow order entry/execution through 3rd party systems or excel. I don't want to do that.

All I want to do is link real time prices to an excel spreadsheet. With that I can automate my calculations/spreads in real time and decide whether to trade or not based on the spread.

I believe that IB DDE (the easiest solution) does not work on Apple Mac. I also read that API needs 32 bit TWS, not 64, and IB do not have a 32 bit version of TWS for Mac.

As I pay for real time prices on IB I don't really want to pay another provider for them as well.

Any thoughts?

OK, this may be a long shot, but if the raw data is available to you from IB,
what about using the data import function in excel, to import the data from IB.
Once IB is open, allow the data to be imported to the spreadsheet.

cheers
