Gissing RealtimeXL
The fastest Excel display of real-time market data prices from multiple data sources
Version 3.0 now available!
The fastest version yet also includes many new usability features including the
Gissing RealtimeXL toolbar (shown in the screenshot below) which gives immediate access to all of the powerful features of the product.
It's never been more important to respond to, and publish, market data with minimal latency. The Gissing RealtimeXL Version 3.0 delivers high performance access to and contribution of market data from your desktop. We've added some exciting new usability features so it's even easier and quicker to use.
Gissing RealtimeXL is the highest performance real-time desktop tool both for users of Microsoft Excel and developers of custom applications.
Historically, users needing significant quantities of real time market data have had to choose between flexibility and performance. Gissing RealtimeXL gives you both.
Extensible and powerful connections
Gissing RealtimeXL provides connectivity to multiple data distribution systems, including:
- Reuters Triarch SSL
- Reuters RMDS
- TIBCO Rendezvous
- Bloomberg
- Gissing ConteX MCS and Gissing ConteX Express
Gissing RealtimeXL can quickly and easily be interfaced to other platforms and is available in both Run Time and SDK versions.
Utilises Microsoft Real Time Data (RTD) functionality for best performance
With Microsoft Office XP (Office 2002), Microsoft introduced a new and much faster method of accessing real-time data: Microsoft Real Time Data (RTD). Gissing RealtimeXL detects which version of Microsoft Office it's being used with will use RTD if it's available.
The combination of Microsoft RTD and Gissing RealtimeXL delivers the best performance available for subscription to, and contribution of, market data in Microsoft Excel.
If Gissing RealtimeXL detects that it's running on Microsoft Office 2000 (a non-RTD version of Office), it will use our own code to achieve a similar result. However for the best performance we recommend the latest available version of Microsoft Office.
Gissing RealtimeXL has been tested with:
- Microsoft Office 2000
- Microsoft Office XP (2002), and
- Microsoft Office 2003
Subscribe to multiple sources of data simultaneously
Gissing RealtimeXL can subscribe to multiple data sources simultaneously, for example it can subscribe to both Bloomberg and Reuters data at the same time.
Many of our clients have found that achieving this with other add-ins is very unreliable and sometimes impossible. Gissing RealtimeXL makes it easy. And it can be installed on a Bloomberg Terminal.
Dedicated Gissing ConteX handlers for maximum performance
Gissing RealtimeXL can subscribe and contribute directly to Gissing ConteX MCS and Gissing ConteX Express. Some of our clients substantially reduced contribution latency by using Gissing RealtimeXL in this configuration.
With Gissing RealtimeXL Version 3.0, Gissing has made two dedicated handlers for Gissing ConteX available. These input (RTXLI) and output (RTXLO) handlers are optimised to provide the highest performance when contributing data directly to Gissing ConteX and when subscribing to data from Gissing ConteX.

Gissing RealtimeXL
Front Office Application of the Year 2005
Evaluate
Gissing RealtimeXL on your own system!
You'd expect us to tell you that Gissing RealtimeXL is the fastest real-time add-in for Microsoft Excel.
And you'd expect us to tell you that it uses fewer machine resources, allowing you to build much more complex models.
And you'd expect us to tell you that because it's designed to handle real-time data from multiple sources, it's much more stable.
But you don't have to take our word for it:
Try it yourself!
Yes, you can apply for your own 60-day evaluation copy of Gissing RealtimeXL Professional - it's fully functional (only the interface to Gissing ConteX MCS is disabled), and you have to agree to our Product Evaluation Agreement, which means you can use it only for evaluation, not in a live situation.
