Stock Connector will update the stock price instantly when you enter the ticker symbol for the first time and every 15 seconds after that for as long as you have the Excel worksheet open. This is just a basic example, but with a little imagination you can use other conditional formatting techniques to convey even more detailed information. To make gains and losses obvious at a glance, I took advantage of Excel's conditional formatting. The last column (I) shows how each stock is trending for the day, which comes directly from information gathered by Stock Connector.

The next column (H) calculates my gain or loss based on the current market price by subtracting C from G. I used that information to calculate the market value of my shares (G) by multiplying C x F. The next column (F) is where I inserted the market prices found by Stock Collector. The next column (E) calculates my cost basis by multiplying C x D. Then I added columns for how many fictional shares I own (C) and what fictional price I paid for them (D). I made a simple listing of stocks and their ticker symbols.
