Export live data to Excel

New comment
 
How could I export live data to Excel from MetaTrade? I would like to export Open, High, low and Close, also Vol and time to a excel worksheet.
 
You use the DDE that comes with MT4
Place these codes in individual excel cells
=MT4|BID!EURUSD
=MT4|ASK!EURUSD
=MT4|HIGH!EURUSD
=MT4|LOW!EURUSD
=MT4|TIME!EURUSD
Change the symbol for different crosses.
You will also need to go to Tools / Options and tick the enable DDE box
 
Yes, I know that much, I mean live data that fills into cells in the excel worksheet at specified user intervals. Also the Open and Close data.
You see I need this in order to use this data in a Neural Network

When you say ""You use the DDE that comes with MT4", which file is that. The DDE-Sample.xls?
Do you create one file for each pair?
What do you name them?
Thanks
 
What I want is to be able to have a dynamic excel worksheet, that is one that grows with the data beeing feed by
MT4.
By the answers Im getting it seems that may be Im not making myself very clear..
I want to start the day with an empty excel sheet, as the minutes tick by, I want the values for the Day, Time, Open, High, Low, Close and Volume to appear in each row of my excel worksheet.

Is this possible?, and if not can it be incorporated in future updates?

Basically, because there are a few excel add ins that have Neural Network capabilities that can be used nicely for
system development.

thanks

You just need to tick the box mentioned and the dde will run automatically when you are logged onto mt4.
This is a link to an excel workbook that I have set up that uses the mt4 dde..

Make sure you are logged into MT4 and the dde is enabled before you open the workbook.
