Hello
Amibroker Supports DDE, so I purchased it.
Now you tell me I should have not purchased it because it does not
support DDE on a Finatek based platform running a DDE server,
Finatek white label the software so my brokers and MoneyForex use
the software produced by Finatek though white labeled to look and
feel like the brokers own product.
If you do not support DDE for Finatek software, why did you not
tell me this before I purchased the software, I would have saved
myself money.
