Using a RTD server to feed excel does anyone know of a broker and or template for trading futures, Automated? I want to send a signal to enter at market and then exit with predefined brackets. Thank for any leads, Mark
You may have already seen this link. Good luck. https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/How_to_Feed_Excel_File_With_RT_Data_From_MultiCharts_(Use_RTD_Server)%3F
yes thanks i am going to try and use that but i need a way to get the trades to execute tru excel cause it isn't happening with multicharts automated trading. multicharts refuses to provide any proof that their platform is in fact capable of auto trading as they advertise. many others users have come to discover the lie and all we get from multicharts is that it works for their development team lol. in other words send us proof it doesn't work is all they continually say. i have challenged them "multicharts" over and over to prove that auto trading works in real time with real money account. i have wasted thousands of dollars and hours with their lie.....
You may want to look into R-Trader Pro and its Excel interface. With the aid of some VBA macros, I used it to submit orders (predefined OCO bracket orders) based upon certain criteria.
I am sad to say after using Rithmic on several brokers and accounts, I have found their data a crap shoot. I had to go to CQG to just get decent data. When Rithmic doesn't want to give you data your not getting data they are very data stingy. but i have to say if it works i would be game!
As I understand it, Sierra Chart supports trading from Excel. Haven't used it, so can't answer any questions, but maybe this will help: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/OverviewOfSpreadsheetStudies.php
Actually Sierra no longer supports Excel. However, they do provide their own built-in spreadsheet. I've used it and it works pretty well.
