DDE vs TCP/IP

["BobR" <bobrabcd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a question for the data experts who know the real story.  Since I've
been kind of hung up on tick counts and have been experimenting with the
various options of moving data it occurred to me last night that methods
such as DDE links from say the UMDS to TradeX or other software such as
Fibonacci Trader might suffer some tick loss.  Its my novice understanding
that DDE clients request data from the DDE server at fixed or user selected
intervals with the minimum being one second, could be wrong here.  The
consequences being that if multiple ticks occur for a symbol within the
update interval, then only the last one is passed out of the server to the
client application.  Is there a way to have the dde clients update with each
price update or is the dde method limited to fixed intervals of polling
time?  Three configurations in particular are of interest: 1. DTN to UMDS to
Dynastore to TS4,  2. DTN to UMDS to Dynastore to TCP/IP to client, 3. DTN
to UMDS to UsDDE to TradeX.

Thanks,
