How do I set up my QuoteMedia account?
QuoteMedia provides the real-time market data for MarketXLS. Here's how to set it up:
Step 1: Find Your Credentials
After purchasing MarketXLS, you'll receive a separate email with your QuoteMedia account details:
- Username: Usually your email address
- Password: Auto-generated (in your setup email)
Look for an email with subject like "QuoteMedia account details" or "MarketXLS data access"
Step 2: Sign Exchange Agreements
Important: You must sign exchange agreements to receive real-time data.
- Check your setup email for the exchange agreement link
- Click the link and sign the required agreements
- This is required for NYSE, NASDAQ, and other exchanges
- Without signed agreements, you may see authentication errors
Step 3: Enter Credentials in MarketXLS
- Open Excel with MarketXLS
- Go to MarketXLS tab > Settings
- Find the QuoteMedia section
- Enter your username and password
- Click Test Connection to verify
Troubleshooting Authentication Errors
