Fetch Real-Time 1-Minute Intraday Stock Data

The QM_GetIntradayDataOneMinutes function lets you quickly retrieve and display real-time 1-minute intraday stock quotes directly in Excel. By simply specifying the ticker symbol, you can populate your spreadsheet with time-stamped price details for deeper analysis, charting, and decision-making. This function leverages your MarketXLS subscription to bring the data into Excel automatically, saving time compared to manual lookups.

Why Use This Function?

• Ideal for day traders and active investors who need frequent (1-minute) data updates.
• Eliminates manual data import steps—data populates directly into Excel cells.
• Quick comparison of intraday prices across multiple symbols in your workbook.
• Integrates seamlessly with Excel's built-in formulas, charts, and PivotTables.
• Useful for generating real-time signals, quick scanning, or short-term trading strategies.

How to Use in Excel

QM_GetIntradayDataOneMinutes("Symbol")

• Replace "Symbol" with a valid stock ticker (e.g., "AAPL", "MSFT", "SPY").
• This function then prints the intraday time-stamped data (price, time columns, etc.) below the active cell.
• Ensure your MarketXLS license is active and your data subscription is configured, or you may receive an error or no data return.

Parameters Explained

• Symbol: The only required parameter, determining which instrument’s intraday data is fetched.

Example Usage

Basic Examples

1. Basic Call for AAPL
   • In an empty cell, type:
   QM_GetIntradayDataOneMinutes("AAPL")
   • After pressing Enter, MarketXLS populates the cell below with columns labeled (e.g., Time, Price, Volume, etc.) for each minute.

2. Checking Intraday Moves for MSFT
   • In a new cell, type:
   QM_GetIntradayDataOneMinutes("MSFT")
   • You will see a list of 1-minute intervals over the last available intraday period for Microsoft.

These examples show how each call returns a table of live intraday data in subsequent rows.

Advanced Scenarios

• Comparing Multiple Symbols:
Insert QM_GetIntradayDataOneMinutes("AAPL") in one cell and QM_GetIntradayDataOneMinutes("MSFT") in another. You can then create side-by-side comparisons or combine the data in other sheets for further calculations.

• Trading Strategy Backtesting:
Although the function is designed for live data, you can store snapshots of the intraday data at certain times. By logging 1-minute intervals throughout the day, you can later analyze how your trading signals correlate with real price movements.

• Automated Analysis:
Combine the fetched intraday data with Excel macros or conditional formulas to trigger alerts—e.g., using conditional formatting when certain price thresholds are breached.

Common Questions and Troubleshooting

1. What if I see “License Is Not Valid”?
   • Your MarketXLS license may not be active. Check your subscription status from Settings/Help ? Settings ? Data Subscriptions.

2. “No Data Retrieved” appears—why?
   • The symbol may not be valid, or there is simply no data available for that market/security. Double-check the ticker or ensure the market is open.

3. My cells are not updating with 1-minute data—any tips?
   • Confirm real-time data is included in your MarketXLS subscription. Also verify that Excel calculation is set to Automatic (Formulas ? Calculation Options ? Automatic).

4. Can I use different intervals, like 5 minutes?
   • This function is specifically designed to retrieve 1-minute intervals. If you need other intervals, check whether additional MarketXLS utilities or related functions are available.

By following the steps above, you can easily integrate 1-minute intraday market data into your Excel workflows, leveraging MarketXLS for timely, reliable, and straightforward data retrieval. Use it for real-time monitoring, quick analysis, or add-on strategy testing—right in your favorite spreadsheet environment.
