MT4 data via Universal DDE

Postby MarketMicro » 18 Nov 2014

Hi,

Is anyone successful with using Universal DDE with MT4 data feed into MC 8 or 9?

There's a video in Multicharts that shows us how to do it, but in QuoteManager->Tools->DataSources->UniversalDDE Settings, I get the following errors (see attached).

I got it working. Henry from MC was so kind to help me online. I wasn't aware that in the standard configuration the the "4" in <=MT4|BID!*> and so on was missing. Here a screenshot how it works on my side.

Thanks for the reply Ben.

I have the template selected as you have shown, and the "=MT4|BID!*" and I have even restarted the QuoteManager.

Finally, I got help from Christina. The problem was it requires a "." at the end of the symbol. e.g. instead of "EURUSD", it requires "EURUSD." to make it work.

MC and MT4 Universal DDE

Postby Adrian Uncle » 04 Dec 2015

Hi,

I got the Multicharts64 QuoteManager set up and running for MT4. See below image, I am able to receive the bid and ask prices Image

When I tried to plot the data, I receive the message no data. See below image. Any tips or pointers will be greatly appreciated.

The Symbolname in the quotemanager should be only EURUSD and not EURUSDMT4.
The Symbol must match the symbol in mt4 datawindow.
