I have a third-party DDE quote vendor (my broker), who says I can interface
the realtime data from him into Metastock 7.0
I don't have Metastock 7.0, but do have access to 7.2 and 8.0. Here are his
instructions:
My Question: How do I connect up data export from my quote screen to
MetaStock?
Answer:
1. Set up MetaStock into No Vendor position;
2. Make sure that point "Enable Real Time" in Options -> MetaStock is on;
3. Make sure that data catalog was indicated correctly; usually it is
'C:\MetaStock Data';
4. In MetaStock open file from catalogue (C:\MetaStock Data) with the
instrument active at the given moment in MetaQuotes; for example: USD_CHF
M1;
5. In couple of seconds renewal of chart should start.
Works with 7.0, problem is, when you install 7.2 or 8.0 it asks which
Realtime Data Vendor (E-Signal, BMI, etc.), if you pick one of those, it
tries loading the server with that on startup. If it cannot find, it exits
the program. If you install the program without realtime, then it install
the EOD version, it appears, and you can't modify the instructions for 7.0
to work with 8.0
Essentially, I'd like to know how to get this third party DDE server to work
with 7.2 or 8.0.
Any wizzes out there have some good tips/clues?
Thanks,
Samantha
