MT4 DDE - Two Terminals
"and if not, what can I do to get DDE from both of the terminals into excel?"
The file /config/publish.ini has two instances of the string mt4.
I don't see mt4 in terminal.exe or other .ini files or in the registry.
I would experiment with modifications to publish.ini to see what happens,
but, well, that's me.

I don't have the MT4 string in my ./config/publish.ini file - it contains mostly zeros and no intelligible ASCII/UNICODE text.
I think that this restriction is deliberate. It takes no more than 10 minutes of coding to add a textbox through which the DDE service name can be changed from MT4 to whatever you like...

publish.ini is a binary file, so it looks like junk,yes.
You would need to look at it as such:
$ dump publish.ini

I did look at the publish.ini file with a Hex editor and it doesn't, indeed, have any meaningful strings. Here's what my publish.ini has:

Ok. Turns out that was the login/password for the "Publisher" ftp function. Changed them to mt4x in options, and...

Hi, Phy,
Please, don't bother. I've already figured out a way to "circumvent" the problem.
My intention is to bring the attention of the MT developers on the problem, and urge them to, please, add a TextBox via which we can change the DDE service name in MT easily.
Thanks a bunch for all your help, Phy!

Ok, I did locate an "MT4" in teminal.exe, but I don't have an editor (yet) that seems to want to play
$ dump terminal.exe | grep -Ei mt4
00020950 79e5 ddeb 3ef3 bed6 22b0 cd54 b444 47bb ye]k>s>V"0MT4DG;
No idea if that would be it.
Good luck with getting anything changed in MT4.

did you guys find any solution for that?

Hi, taskin,
Unfortunately, I haven't yet been able to find an easy solution for the problem involving DDE, Excel, and 2 or more MetaTrader platforms. I basically gave up...
The hard solution is to use a windows debugger, like WinDBG (the one I use), hook a couple of functions that are used to register and unresgister the DDE service in MetaTrader, use them to find the DDE names, change those names to something unique (MT4, and MT5, for example), and then trivially connect the 2 terminals with Excel.
The problem is not only the extra effort, but also the fact that part of MetaTraders code is altered, which could be considered copyright infringement. That is precisely why I do not use this technique.

I tried running two separate instances of MetaTrader, and getting the DDE supplied data into an excel spreadsheet, but, unfortunately I ran into a nasty problem.
The problem is that both instances register the same DDE name: "MT4", and excel cannot distinguish between them. It seems that I can only get the DDE data from the first MetaTrader that I start - the second one is somehow ignored, or "not seen".
My question, essentially, is: Can I choose a different DDE service name for the second terminal, and if not, what can I do to get DDE from both of the terminals into excel?
Thank you!
