Hello afl experts Please help by giving some guidance to me a newbie to Amibroker
I read DDE help thing may be 20 times but get no where. I have an excel file where I get live yahoo prices The data contains symbol, date time price volume There are 4 symbols. In DDE PLUGIN configure I selected Ticker-field mode What should I write in each row in this plugin zone My friend told me just write EXCEL in DDE server area THEN in the rows below, I typed (EXCEL)!($A$2)OPEN WHERE A2 is cell in which open price numbers are present but the plugin never read the data so far It is a perennial wait. never ok Comes How does the DDE recognise particular excel file and read the required cell address? This part has become a dream unfulfilled to me SEcond part ok If i import the data somehow can I save the live quotes in Amibroker as they come for later use and reference? say can i read 5 minute data and save it? can i save tioiock data as it comes and read as 5 minute data? I rember that dde plugin is so powerful that it can read upto 200 symbols with data But the thing looks beyond my thinking. Can i save yahoo live price etc as csv and make amibroker read and save? the references on help area i read them but i reach no where. stuck badly. I used a separate database with tick,as advised How to give coded direction to the plugin to read my excel file and particular cell? I was told I have to name the cell. I have two excel files first one is pricedata.xls second one yahoodata.xls Into the yahoodata file I import prices as a table from my yahoo logged in portfolio many thanks in advance ford
