{quote} Recent piece on ZH regarding potential outcomes in the event that China (& Russia) then dumped their bonds. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-0...-world-turn-us

its an interesting question, and one that is kind of addressed in the videos above (i posted the 2nd part as well)

the commentary seems to imply that china and russia dont have a choice but to buy UST's at the moment due to the reserve status...

i know many analysts who would argue this point... but the more opposing views we share, the better our idea generation process me thinks...

Hi DHT,

Sure I'll get my job done by myself definitely. But just looking for some friendly piece of advise in order to route straight to the target.

My feeling so far is that DDE is used to get live data from MT4 into xls, but not reverse way. So far I really don't see how MT4 can be fed by data coming from xls simply over a DDE. It would rather be DLL's, no? DLL is what import data into MT4.

So since you seems to have overcome this issue and have some experience with it, I just wanted some friendly advises from you. Some kind of feed-back.

I know there are tons of on-line references but since you are here, I though it may be worth to have feed-back from someone already having some skin in the game.

So can you please confirm that you have an up and running system in place that use DDE only (and not DLL) to create transaction order in your MT4 filled with parameters your xls algo have defined ?

Thks for your kind answer.

I can confirm that MT4 does not import data via DDE. The DDE mode in MT4 is strictly a server to pass live (current) OHLC pricing only.
If you want your EA to manage trades via information entered into an XLS file, you have to get your MT4 EA to read from the Excel file.
You can accomplish this via any of the file functions in the MQL code. Here's a reference >>> http://docs.mql4.com/files

Is the GBP about to crash? (Forex analysis 09-08-13) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBMz35eseAk
Looks appealing indeed..thks twrayner
Clearly there has been a range in place on weekly chart
On H1 I'll wait MACD to complete and first dot Parabolic SAR
1,63353 would be my preferred entry target. However I'll consider above 1,63 a good area worth to set entry.
I can see overnight swap short is less than long (3 times less), and not too high, so another argument to short the range on a long term and keep the position open for a while, cause cost of entry is also quite high compared to overall common spread. (sorry guys greed is greed)

I'll consider position building strategy with a break even rule to size new entries, accordingly to 3 main key levels. I'll watch top of waves and weekly/daily pivot point (resistance/support) to fine tune new entry point.

I'll consider 3 closing area to step out: 1,57575; 1,56548; and last part using trailing @1,54918 if it gets there and below, but I won't wait too much in that area.

If things move above 1,64591 I'm out of the deal.

Cheers,

Dear PT, once again, many thanks for bringing some lights here...so the only way is DLL function to import data into MT4 from xls....so it's gonna be a hell.

The hell is that if DLL fails to import, the EA code needs to be restarted and looks horrible to have it restarted programmaticaly when ending that way.

Another big constraints is timing....since the data are imported upon sole decision of MT4...and not on decision of xls. So now we enter into the trouble of synchronization....MT4 needs to call DLL when xls has something to say...and MT4 needs to wait xls has finished to save the file before attempting reading...argh...

No other possibilities than DLL's guys?? Really. If not okay I'll go through it, but I was expecting some easier ways...
Challenging....I'm not yet out of it.:nerd:
