StreamXLS Review, Pricing, and Features
By Jera Value · Verified Sep 2026
StreamXLS brings Interactive Brokers data into Windows desktop Excel using RTD formulas. Monitor quotes, balances, positions, profit and loss, and open orders from a local TWS or IB Gateway connection. It can stage supported order tickets for manual review in TWS. That is not trade submission, and market-data entitlements remain separate. Check delayed-data flags, machine licensing, and workbook staging behaviour before using it operationally.
Verdict
Worth it if you want IBKR monitoring in Windows desktop Excel.
- Spreadsheet monitoring: review connected IBKR data in cells
- Account checks: compare balances, positions, and open orders
- Order preparation: stage eligible tickets for manual TWS review
Skip it if you need Mac support or automatic trade submission from formulas.
- Windows requirement: desktop Excel and separate IBKR setup needed
- Data caution: delayed quotes can resemble live data
- Order behaviour: formulas do not submit or cancel trades
- License terms: one named user/machine; validation and renewals apply
