# On the '''Tools''' menu, click '''Data Sources'''.
# Select '''Universal DDE''' and click '''Settings'''.
# Indicate a template name in '''Template''' (up to 20 symbols characters long).
# Indicate the DDE Links in the corresponding sections (the sections include '''Trade''', '''Bid''' and '''Ask'''. The '''Price''' and '''Volume/Size''' must be indicated in each section; if '''Volume/Size''' cannot be used (e.g for Forex), indicate '''Price''' instead. Since for every price the program queries for a volume, this field will never be empty as the program will be waiting for volume data to form a new tick.
# Before creating DDE links in '''Universal DDE''' make sure they are functional in Excel. <br>After that, copy the link to the corresponding field in '''Universal DDE''' and replace the static symbol name with the asterisk symbol '''*'''. <br>For instance, replace =WINROS|LAST!MSFT with =WINROS|LAST!*. After that the program will automatically use the symbol name for which the given template is used. Do the same for all fields.
