[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: DDE feed for S&P

Some Metatrader brokers have the S & P cash (free), but not of good 
quality. Good quality free S & P future data is available from a 
number of Metatrader brokers such as Alpari and Cradlewood. Still, 
with the Metatrader feed and Metaserver you would only be able to 
record either bids or offers (unless Metaserver 3 gives you the 
capability to record bid / offer mid price, unlike Metaserver 2).

Hyperserver Lite or Dynastore (free tools) allow you to record the 
mid.

If Metaserver 3 cannot do the mid you can first feed into Excel, 
calculate the mid and then feed back to Metaserver. I do the 
following for Metaserver 2 in Excel:

Last Price = ((Last Bid+Spread/2) + (Last Offer-Spread/2))/2. (Live 
DDE link)

This works somewhat better than the mid available from Hypertrader or 
Dynastore.

If you are interested I can post the URL's for Metatrader brokers 
with S & P cash or futures here.

I do FX trading too, and I correlate moves in the S & P future with 
FX moves.

Gold also sometimes gives a more complete picture of dollar 
strength / weakness. Also available from several Metatrader brokers.
