> Frankly I see NO reason connecting via excel
The reverse is not true though. I see GREAT VALUE in being able to
setup a DDE communication between Excel and Amibroker so that
Amibroker can send script variable information easily to Excel for
further display/calculation/analysis. Notice that I didn't
say "streaming real-time data from a data provider."
eSignal does this easily:
var val = new DDEOutput("dataForExcel");
val.set(1245);
In Excel, this exposes the current value from the eSignal chart
script:
=eSignal|EFS!dataForExcel
Excel is a more powerful application from which to display and
organize complex data that is not in the form of a stock/futures
chart.

[yes, I know. There is a request for this already in the Amibroker
suggestion database...from me]
