Thanks a lot Amibroker. That installation was driving me crazy.

I've downloaded your version & it's working fine. I really appreiate your help.

I have a question though, why is it working for others? Are they recompiling the source? I'm asking as I've also downloaded the SDK but it still didn't work for me.

Another question , it's showing only 5 currency pairs in the sample spread sheet. Is that normal? Is there a way to show more?

I repeat thanks a lot & all the best

Oldman

I don't understand why this is not appearing at the end of the thread?

My guess is that some may have installed other (older) version of Order2Go which may have used FXCM name. For me it looks like legacy stuff that was left by ommission and on developer's machine the problem was not showing up because he/she had all previous versions :-)
Every fresh installation failed however ...

It is just sample spreadsheet. You can add more pairs putting this in Excel cells: =O2GDDE|Bid!YourCurrencyPairSymbolHere and =O2GDDE|Ask!YourCurrencyPairSymbolHere

I am also getting "ActiveX component can't create object" error when trying to start this.

In order to investigate the reason I have run RegMonitor (from wininternals) and found out what is missing. The program attempts to open
HKCU\Software\Classes\FXCM.CORE registry key and it does not find it.

This means that FXCM.CORE ActiveX Object is not registered on the system.
Then I tried to regsvr32.exe fxcore.dll and it succeeded but the same error.

I am running FXCM Trading Station II version 01.02.121406

I would appreciate if any FXCM expert tell where do I find DLL responsible for FXCM.CORE object that is missing.

amibroker · #22 (**permalink**) 01-05-2007, 08:59 AM

I found the reason of this error. The runtime we are told to install (http://www.fxcorporate.com/Order2Go/FXOrder2GoRE.EXE) consists of fxcore.dll that does NOT register FXCM.CORE object at all, therefore the Order2GoDDE can not work at all because it refers to it.

What it does register is Order2Go.CORE object. I verified by manual modification of all OLE registration entries for Order2Go.CORE object (I changed them to list FXCM.CORE) and then Order2GoDDE works just fine.

Luckily I have some old Visual Basic 6 CD somewhere in my desk and I will compile fixed version of application so it refers to Order2Go.CORE instead of FXCM.CORE so others having this problem will be able to run it.

Should have it within an hour or so.

The spread sheet already has 20 currency pairs with the right values as you have shown but they are not being updated. Another weird behaviour is that the Order2GoDDE application bid/ask windows are showing only 4 currency pairs.

Thanks for the help at any rate .

You need to put instruments you are interested in to your watch list in FXCM Trading Station software otherwise symbols won't update. Later on you can exit Trading Station - it is not required to be running once watch list is set up.

Well once more thanks & thanks.

I haven't been thinking clearly for a few days since I had this problem with Order2GO etc. & it even affected my trading.

You are absolutely right the 4 currency pairs showing are what I selected in the FXCM trading station.

Have a great weekend

So what do you do after youve installed it and log in..........do you do something in the excel file?

Is it possible to enter at a specific time regardless of price with say 30 stop loss, 35 trailing stop and 50 profit limit?

Order2Go v01.02.121406

Description
This application uses the Order2Go in a basic application that makes the BID and ASK rates and TIME from the dealing window available through DDE. It can be used with a Demo or Real account. Please note that for a real account, you should have your account enabled for "Multiple Session Access".

Usage
Step 1) Please register for a valid FXCM demo account. If you do not have one please click here.
Step 2) Please install the Order2Go runtime on your computer. You can install it here.
Step 3) Download and unzip the application Order2GoDDE_Application.zip below.
Step 4) In the unzipped folder, double-click on the application Order2GoDDE.exe
Step 5) Once you have logged into the DDE server with your demo account go to Order2GoDDE.xls in the same folder to view an example of the DDE in Excel.

(Please note that you can also use a real account login, though we recommend that you contact FXCM to request multiple session access before doing so, otherwise, the DDE may log you out of your Trading Station.)

Sample Excel format: "=O2GDDE|Bid!EURUSD" for the current EURUSD bid price

I am new to trading with no tech back ground
will the DDE link allow me to access the FXCM
data and history also. I am looking at MCFX
and Multicharts for my new charting service.
I think they require the DDE link to work

Thanks

MCFX already has the FXCM price feed.
