Their "Autotrader" component has been part of their Xtrader platform for many years. Keep in mind that there are many trading platforms that allow some level of Excel interoperability, however, not to the extent of STv2. This includes speed and robustness.

From a previous discussion I've had with Darryl, there are quite a few brokerages and software providers that have trading platforms that attempt to integrate with Excel, but they are not very good. They don't perform nearly as fast as STv2 and in the world of electronic and algo trading, speed is everything.

According to this link, TT's "Autotrader" has been a feature of their core trading platform since 2002...so it's nothing new.

All in my opinion. Hope this helps.
