Buy Stocks Straight From Your Excel Sheet Using ! - stock data and fundamental analysis in Excel with MarketXLS

This February 2022 announcement describes how MarketXLS added order links to Tradier: the =TradeSingleLegTradier() and =TradeMultiLegTradier() functions build an order from arguments in Excel and return a link that opens a prefilled order on Tradier, where you preview and submit it. The feature required a Tradier brokerage account and was offered as an add-on. Availability and pricing may have changed since 2022, so confirm with MarketXLS support (support@marketxls.com) before relying on it.

For an overview and current setup contacts, see the MarketXLS Tradier order-link workflow.
