Answer» Dear Forum, I am trying to input a web page into excel that is password protected. A standard web query works great when not logged in, but if I try to specify the address of the logged in page, it comes up at the login page; to put your login credentials in. I have tried copying and pasting the logged in address into a new browser window, and it comes up fine; why wouldn't it WORK in Excel? Thanks a lot! Mike I can't make any sense of your post. Excel is a spreadsheet program, not a web browser or a web page creation program. Your comments about "putting a web page into Excel" just SEEM totally bizarre. Dear Soybean, Sorry for being none technically correct. I am not a computer wizard, hence my need of help! I am simply importing the text data from the webpage into Excel. HTML or text; I don't care what form it is in; I just want to see the stock buy or sell signals from the web site. The web site is: www.americanbulls.com I have PERMISSION from the site owner to use it to auto trade an account. I am using MBTrading with their SDK commands. I have been successful using the standard website as it appears without logging in (the free website), but when I enter my password to access the interday signals, the program will not work. It does not access the logged in webpage, but comes up with a login page. Do you know of any way around this? Perhaps copying and pasting the page into Excel? Thanks! Mike I think the website you mentioned is a bad egg. See http://www.xomreviews.com/americanbulls.com
My advise is to see find some other source for the stock market data you want. Dear Soybean,
I think you are greatly mistaken. American Bulls has an amazing track record. Just look through their buy/sell archive on any stock. They are 95% positive, and many have returns of over 10,000% over a two year period. The stock that I am currently interested in has a gain of 41,615% (HLNT). I have verified their signal record (on right of web page), and if using their intra day signals, it is correct. The intra day does an amazingly good job of anticipating big moves, and will get you in or out of a stock before it takes off; hence my desire to use the logged in web page. Of COURSE they miss it sometimes, and this is the reason for a balanced portfolio.
I agree with those posters who complain about their support. It is very poor; but they maintain the site well, and I have never known it to go down. It is simply a number cruncher. I think the owner is only interested in selling advertising to support the site, and is not very interested in spending time helping individual subscribers (they seem to hide their email address). As long as you are aware of this, I do not see any problem with their support.
You should really consider this. My problem is that I cannot follow the intraday signals, as it requires constant monitoring, and when one is posted, I usually think better, and decide not to follow it. If I could force myself to go by it, then I could OBVIOUSLY make money!
If you are interested, I would be glad to have you along. I have a programmer employed by me at this point, but could use more input!
Sincerely, Mike
