DDE from FX Trading Station II

[pmonty]

Hi,

Can I use DDE from FX Trading Station II?

I wish to use Amibroker as my charting package.
Amibroker has a generic DDE .

At present I only have a demo account with FXCM, does this effect the availability of DDE?

Thanks,
Monty

Hi,

With the assistance of the FXCM technical info desk I have been sucessful in feeding Amibroker Pro with RT data.
This data displays seamlessly with historical data in the database.

The information on set up of the DDE is here:

In Amibroker database settings the server is set to O2GDDE
And Open, High, Low, Ask, Bid & Time set to {field}!{Ticker}

Thanks again to Tech Support

How did you get historical data in the database?
I can get the dde to work in Amibroker, but it does not have the historical data.
