Hi,

I was wondering whether anybody has ever tried using the dde through something other than Excel (or OpenOffice).

Following is a small piece of the code i use to try and make it work.

// Connect to MetaTrader
metaTrader.connect("MT", "BID"); // This seems to go ok
// Request an item
String usdchf = new String(metaTrader.request("USDCHF")); // Error thrown

This is the exception thrown.
com.javaparts.dde.DDEException: Request transaction has failed [4009]
A transaction has failed (was rejected by server).

I'm aware that this is java but maybe someone has gotten the dde link from java to MT to work and i'm just not seeing something.

Any help or suggestion appreciated.

You can export indicators and prices from MT4 to Excel and execute orders from excel to several MT4s + other cool staff. It is explained here www.fxdialogue.com.

* are you sure it has connected to MT? I believe it should be MT4

* is metaTrader.request("USDCHF") supposed to be a string?


I created a similar application but using .NET, and its working. I used MT4 instead of MT.


give it a try. :)
