DDE and RTD how use both inside MC

Postby strelow » 11 Aug 2018

Hello I trying to use universal DDE but the supply I get said they have a RTD server.

Can I use the mc universal DDE for that ?

The syntaxe from server is :

=RTD("srv.rtd";"";"SQT";"PAPER";"VAR")

I tryied to input but no positive response comes from universal DDE. maybe syntaxe error.

Any Suggestion.

Thanks

Hello strelow,

You can't use RTD input directly in MultiCharts.
If you can feed the data into Excel from your source, then you can get the data from Excel into MultiCharts using Universal DDE:

Hello Henry

Using this method that you explained is possible create a chart with history data ?
I mean I tested other DDE and only plot data from current day .

Universal DDE is realtime data only. You will need to import historical data from a different source, or merge a historical data provider with the realtime data coming from DDE.
