Here is a message from JurikResearch's programmer
Norman Smith regarding his Excel add-in.  If the
demand is high maybe JurikRes will have the motivation
to perfect it into to a new trading platform.  Go
ahead and email www.jurikres.com.

Technicell helps Excel users to obtain some of the
functionality of TS, but charting is not nearly as
complete. (Try drawing a trend line, for instance.)
Also, right now Technicell doesn't allow one to put
formulas in the spreadsheet, so new values require
manual activation of the Technicell routines to obtain
updated indicator values. This severely limits its 
use for real time traders. End of day users should be
able to work with it, though.
