The DDE Server is a functionality that allows you to set up a live feed of information from various windows in ActTrader into MS Excel.
Go to Settings > View and Edit > DDE Server. Click the check box next to “Enable DDE Server”. You may give the DDE Server any name you want. (Here we will use ICTS1, ICTS2, etc.) Click one of the buttons to copy data. Open an Excel document and Paste (Ctrl+V). The table that you copied will appear in the spreadsheet and will be updated in real time. You can repeat the steps above to copy the other two tables into the same spreadsheet or a new spreadsheet.
