Hello gentlemen,
I have just discovered Amibroker and think it has amazing potential and am looking forward to my journey, however have encountered my first challenge.
My broker supplies live data in Excel RTD format NOT DDE. This presents a problem as Amibroker's plug in is only compatible with DDE and NOT RTD.
Therefore I am assuming I have two options:
1. Have a script written to convert the data from RTD to DDE. (The RTD program I have from my broker is in VBA)
2. Use excel as a DDE server for live quotes and configure Amibroker DDE accordingly
I have countless hours trying to do the latter, and as I have no programming skills, I respectfully ask for any assitance with either option.
I'm sure my problem is not unique. (Of course things would be much easier if Amibroker just released a RTD plug in. Afterall DDE was superceded in 2002 when Microsoft introduced RTD)
Many thanks
Barnzee
