    When I hit run I get the "waiting for underlying symbols" Very bonehead move by me. I don't do majority of my trading on IB and the sub issue is probably what's going on here.

    Appears it may be an issue with my subscriptions - which are you subscribed to on IB? I'll make sure it's set up correctly

    So I entered BABA, symbol ok and returns expiration dates. Thank you again @Stanislav

    The odd thing is I can go into the straddle tab, as an example, change the ticker, and will return new strikes & EA. So some data is coming through, but charts are not updating. On watchlist I get the text for requesting underlying price, but RV, put, call etc don't refill with anything. On the log page, I get a series of messages saying Market data farm connection is OK: "xxxxx" (X being different for each line)

    @Stanislav strange.. I added the host, which was blank. Tried the samples and they're functioning. Still cant get it to work. I tried to open the ddedll.dll file but it comes out like a bunch of squares. My excel was 32 bit when loaded on the computer. I'll see if I can get it to 64 to check if that works. Appreciate all your help on this. ddedll.dll

    Thanks, @Stanislav --Sorry for choppy response earlier. So specifically, yes, after realizing I have 32-bit excel installed on my home machine, I uninstalled 64-bit TWS and installed the 32-bit version. I am no longer receiving the .dll file error, that seems to have been solved. I installed the latest version of TWS API, even re-did it just to be sure. Followed the checklist to ensure I enabled Active X & stock clients, Port is correct. ***Host I WILL need to check when I get home. I don't recall if it was empty. I believe it was auto populated when I opened the file. I will also need to check to make sure the C:\Windows\ddedll.dl file exists -- Perhaps one of these are the issue, but I know the others were taken care of. Greatly appreciate the help, thank you.

    So Installed proper version, still stuck on requesting underlying price when I refresh.. Went through entire checklist again and everything looks good. Any other suggestions?

    You got it.. Windows is 64 bit, but my excel 32 bit. Just checked....

    @Christof+ @Stanislav Just got the error message when re-checking this morning "The ddedll.dll file required for Excel integration is either missing or out of date. The dll can be refreshed with the most up-to-date version can by downloading and installing the API Software from our web site. Please close the application and restart it after the API components have been updated." Odd because I initially got this yesterday despite downloading the API per instructions, then re-downloading, which seemed to work but I must be missing something. Not super savvy with these things, but I can go through process again and see what happened.

    @Christof+ Awesome tool. Thank you. I seem to have everything up and running. Request current time function works. When I hit update once on watchlist I get the requesting underlying price status, but hasn't done anything in a few minutes.. Typical? or do I have an issue?
