Hi,
I'm trying to send data (i.e. price, signals, indicators, high, etc.) from MultiCharts to an Excel spreadsheet. However, from what I've seen so far, I'm only able to do use a DDE to send data from a broker platform like IB to MultiCharts and then to Excel. Does anyone know if this is possible to do, and if so, how would I go about this?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Re: Using DDE to send data from MultiCharts to Excel
ELExcel.dll is capable of sending data from MultiCharts to Excel.
Please use forum search to find more information about it, there has been a number of threads about it already.

Re: Using DDE to send data from MultiCharts to Excel
Thanks. However, from what I've read it's only been truly tested with TS and MT. I have read that it gave some users issues when used with Multicharts because of the multi-threading. Anyone have any issues with ELExcel.dll?

You can declare the DLL function as ThreadSafe to increase the performance of calculation and optimization of the study.

Henry, How do you do that?You can declare the DLL function as ThreadSafe to increase the performance of calculation and optimization of the study.
Actually, I'm using XLInput to send data to Excel.
Maybe I could use ELExcel as a backup option if it is a solid solution

Treadsafe with an External dll XLLink.DLL

MartinHi Martin,
Let me know if you try it. Note that unless MultiCharts supports the threadsafe attribute with ‘external method’ you will need to pass the PL self pointer.
If there is a problem, it will likely be with MultiCharts’ PLKit.dll which is a dependency.

ELExcel.DLL is a third party dll. We are not developing updates for it and do not have the information if it will be updated or not.Thanks
Another question. Any Idea if the ELExcel.DLL will be available for the 64 version?
