Quotations export

Information about price dynamics of financial instruments is the basis for terminal operation. This information is delivered by brokerage company. The price data allow drawing the charts of financial instruments, researching financial markets, using various trade strategies and make trade decisions.

Quotations data are the files with the records in the format "SYMBOL, BID, ASK, DATE" (financial instrument, buy price, sell price, date and time) and come to the terminal automatically after connection with server.

The terminal allow to export the current quotations in the real time mode by "DDE" (Dynamic Data Exchange) protocol into other programs. For this purpose it is necessary setup the flag in menu "Tools — Options — Server — Enable DDE".

Attention: historical data is not transfered through DDE, and the current quotations are transfered only with working client terminal. Format of DDE requests (example in "DDE-sample.xls" file):
