Hi all,

Going to commission a process to import data from Excel to MT5, to replace an old MT4 version that did same.

Can anyone tell me, can this be done via DDE link or will it have to be done via imported CSV files? The info to import will be parameters and colours of lines, boxes and fibs.

Thanks in advance

I crunch data from other sources (correlated markets, IV etc). Excel is my control panel, MT the charts and execution a third element again.

I've made do with MT4 / Excel csv combo with macros for a few years but it's about time I upgraded the whole shebang and wondering if DDE/ MT5 connection is stable enough interface to work.

Any ideas?
