An old excerpt that is still on the IB Website... clearly some aspects are outdated, but some interesting nuggets here

http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/general/poll/ibconsultants.php?accept_disclaimer=T&ib_entity=llc

Product Name: SpoozToolz
Provider Name: Spooz, Inc.
Description SpoozToolz is Excel add-in software that enables Excel to perform robust complex analysis functions, multiple cell referencing, and automated trading functions with live streaming data. SpoozToolz will be released Jan 15 for distribution through brokerages worldwide. We have had many requests from IB trading customers for SpoozToolz to be intergrated to the IB platform so they may trade directly from Excel. SpoozToolz graphical user interface is independent of any particular execution provider and offers users the ability to connect to their own preferred electronic execution platform, broker or clearing firm. For more information contact Darryl Dennis, Chief Marketing Officer, Spooz, Inc., 141 W Jackson Bvd CBOT BLD, Suite 1220, 3123793166


My question at this point is "What is the link between IB's current Excel based DDE and Spooz, if any?"

Can some of the folks who have seen Spooztoolz compare their observations to this training material from IB?
