For example, the thinkorswim platform uses Excel's RTD (real time data) functionality to live stream quote and position data to Excel for over 100 defined data fields. In Excel, a cell formula to stream the real-time BID data field is =RTD("tos.rtd",,"BID",A10), where A10 is the example cell containing the instrument symbol. A cell formula to stream the average price of a position is =RTD("tos.rtd",,"AV_TRADE_PRICE",A10). For open profit/loss: =RTD("tos.rtd",,"P_L_OPEN",A10). For open profit/loss percent: =RTD("tos.rtd",,"P_L_PERCENT",A10). And so on, for over 100 defined data fields.

Does NinjaTrader have this same or similar functionality that does not require script or other coding, only writing of simple Excel formulas? If not yet, is this a NinjaTrader feature under development? If not, what is the current solution for NinjaTrader that is equally functional?
