Connecting ELWAVE Intraday to Omega Server using Microsoft Excel

   

Linking ELWAVE Intraday directly to Omega Server is not possible, because Omega Server implements the DDE link (Dynamic Data Exchange, a protocol developed by Microsoft) in a somewhat unusual way. However, if you have Microsoft Excel, you can link ELWAVE to Omega Server by doing the following:

  • Set up Excel work book with following string in one cell: =(OMEGA_SERVER|LIVEQUOTE!'AOL,PC')
    The ticker symbol is AOL.
  • Save workbook with file name as desired, for example Aoltick.xls
  • While Excel workbook is open, open Elwave Software, start real-time datafeed and insert set up as follows:
    • DDE Server: EXCEL
    • Ticker(Topic): Aoltick.xls
    • Close(item): C
    • use the default setting for date and time.
