To do it, you should enable the “Options Server Enable DDE Server” option in the settings and restart MetaTrader 4. The format of requests is quite simple: request BID: =MT4|BID!USDCHF 1.6607 request ASK: =MT4|ASK!USDCHF 1.6612 request HIGH: =MT4|HIGH!USDCHF 1.6642 request LOW: =MT4|LOW!USDCHF 1.6601 request TIME: =MT4|TIME!USDCHF 17/08/01 15:38 request QUOTE: =MT4|QUOTE!USDCHF 17/08/01 15:38 1.6607 1.6612 1.6609 You can find a complete example of using DDE in the DDE-Sample.xls file of the terminal distribution package.
