External data connection / RTD ?  [SOLVED]

I would like to connect MC.NET to my 'own' data feed (separately calculated figures I want to keep outside any charting software).

I see you have DDE connection but writing DDE C# server is an annoying exercise.

Would you consider adding RTD client into MC.NET so the users can have a more robust and modern technology for the needs like that.

Also from license prospective - if I hold lifetime license - can I have 2 connections? Regular broker data feed and my own connected at the same time?

maybe you can use ASCII mapping,

and DDE can't support timestamp of quote...

thanks for the suggestion but I would like to have a 'proper' solution. sometime there are bunch of data and I want to see it immediately.

reliability of ascii mapping isn't convincing for streaming.

I believe the 'proper' solution is Multicharts Data API: https://www.multicharts.com/multicharts/sdk/

But ASCII maping is supporting history and Real-time, reliable, no coding and free ...

thanks

Hello maxima,

You can use Excel as a DDE Server.

Also from license prospective - if I hold lifetime license - can I have 2 connections? Regular broker data feed and my own connected at the same time?

There is no limitation for the amount of data providers you can use at the same time.

thanks. excel is not the way for me (I will need to feed excel and then DDE it to MC somehow - not very nice solution). I want to have an abstraction layer. and RTD client in MC is the best. it is also good way forward for MC.

please consider adding it (it is like 2 day job really).

DDE it to MC somehow

Built-in Universal DDE data provider already does that in MultiCharts.

RTD client in MC is the best. it is also good way forward for MC.

Thank you for your suggestion. It has been forwarded to our developers.

thank you
