FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

The Add-in works only with the Windows version of Excel; the minimum version supported is Excel 2007.

If you wish to use the Add-in on an Apple Mac, then you can use Parallels for the Mac which enables the Windows version of Excel to run on a Mac.

No, each subscription is valid for one machine only in order to avoid the sharing of subscriptions between multiple users.

If for some reason you need to change machine and move the Add-in to your new computer, please get in touch with us.

Only one provider, EODHistoricalData.com, requires a paying subscription in order to access their data. There are no extra charges that you need to pay to Yahoo Finance, Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), IG Index or Nasdaq.

The Add-in can currently connect to 5 data sources:

	Yahoo Finance	FRED	IG Index / IG Markets	EODHistoricalData.com	Nasdaq
Additional Charge	No	No	No	Yes	No (optional)
User Account Required	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Intraday Data	Yes	No	Yes	No	No
Fundamental Data	Yes	No	No	Yes	No
Streaming Market Data	No	No	Yes	No	No
Historical Data	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Real time Client Sentiment Data	No	No	Yes	No	No
Historical Client Sentiment Data	No	No	Yes	No	No

You only need an IG Index account if you want to access data provided by IG Index. If you only require data from Yahoo Finance, FRED or Nasdaq, then you don't need an IG Index account.
The only exception is historical Client Sentiment data. We source this data from IG Index but we store it on our side so you don't need an IG Index account to access it.

Yes, we provide both real time and historical Client Sentiment data that we source from IG Index. In order to access the real time Client Sentiment Data you need an IG Index account. However, you do NOT need to have an IG Index account to access the historical Client Sentiment Data.

Because IG Index does not make available Client Sentiment data historically, we download Client Sentiment data on an hourly basis and store it. That way we can make it available to our customers.

Please note that depending on the market, the earliest date for which we have historical data might differ (depending on when we started collecting it). In addition, we cannot guarantee the completeness of this data as there might be small gaps (in cases where for connectivity or other reasons, we failed to acquire it).
