automated stock trading systems

I had some work done by another programmer a few months ago that automated my trading but the program now need some upgrades. The system gets data via my brokers (Interactive Brokers) API. I'm using DDE to get data and execute trades in Excel. I also need some work done that will allow me to get quotes into Excel from my Data Provider (Townsend Analytics - TAL). I currently use their [login to view URL] to get data into a spreadsheet. However, you can use their Toolkit and this will allow you to receive their data more efficiently. I also will need some programming for a couple of smaller jobs.
