D&H
regarding the whole number rounding that you say Google Finance uses, have you tried adding a decimal place on XL. There's a function for it on the Home page, in the number section. I'd be surprised if it didn't work, but as you say, maybe the issue is with Google.
Unsure if Commsec provides DDE files, but since it is the most popular platform, someone will know.
I used to use a lot more feeds from Pro last year until the upgrade. XL also upgraded, and ever since I lost a lot of functionality, but hasn't worried me as I havn't been trading until recently. Unsure if it was Pro or XL that caused the issues, or maybe it was just me.
Regardless, the share price and percentage gain work fine, which is enough for this simpleton. Of course, you can do plenty with it in XL.
Even though Pro has been a lot more stable since the upgrade, it is closing down later next year and accounts are moving across to CMC. I hope they provide DDE. If not, I'll be looking elsewhere as having live updated XL is where I mostly work from these days.
I'm a little dissapointed that Pro is closing as I've become accustomed to the port and starboard colour scheme; once being a seafarer. I can't imagine that they are not making enough money from it as they've certainly extracted plenty from me. Then again, as they are don't lend finance on normal accounts, maybe they don't make the profits that Comm and WestPac do.
