PRT DDE Option Not Available

[ckc]

ProRealTime DDE plugin (prortdde.exe) is a handy tool that enables us to export in real-time data from the list displayed in the Lists window of our ProRealTime workstation. 

 

Unfortunately the version of PRT we are using does not have the option of  "Export DDE". 

Thus we cannot use this handy tool. With this tool, I can export real-time data to Excel to perform analysis.

 

Can we have the "Export DDE" feature enabled on PRT? 

 

Thnak you.

Hi CKC,

 

Thanks for getting in contact and sharing the idea! 

 

I will contact the Pro Real Time team and the other relevant departments about seeing if we can get this enabled and as soon as I hear back from them I will let you know. 

 

One thing I will suggest having a look at if you are looking to use historic data to help build a strategy is to have a look at our API offering, where you can use Excel to perform trades and perform analysis, although I might add programming experience may be needed. Please see the link below that will give you more information.

I do hope that helps and I hope to be able to reply to this thread soon with more information.

 

Thanks

Thank you for your feedback. I shall explore IG API as suggested. But I hope the DDE option can be made available. Please keep us informed when you hear backfrom them.
