Hello,
I could use some help setting up the order2go dde platform.
I did the following steps:
1. Signed up for a demo account and got the user name and password.
2. installed the order2go runtime on my C drive
3. Installed the Order2GoDDE_Application.zip on my C drive, then unzipped
it and got the folder Order2GoDDE_Application folder. In the folder, I saw
a calculator with "FXCM" on it and a Order2Go spreadsheet.
4. I double clicked on the calculator and got the message "activex
component can create object". When I clicked on "ok" it gave me a new
window with a field for username and password. When I typed in the
username and password from the Demo account, I got a message "object
required"
What am I doing wrong?

You need to install the file in Step 2.

Thank you, Help. Order2GoDDE works now I have that file. However, it will only work with the amibroker version of the runtime program, not the version originally posted by FXCM on this forum. Also, non-experts like me should be aware that success with these amibroker file versions and Order2GoDDE does not enable the order generator, Order2Go-Excel beta version, to work. There must be something different specified in the code of that program, for example, defined core object, that needs changing before it will link back to your account tables. |

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 have followed all instructions and I have succesfully run the O2GDDE. However, the time is not updated (shows 9/26/1902 00). Do you know why?

Macros
Have you enabled macros in your spreadsheet?
If you have not, or if your security setting is too high, you can alter it in:
Tools>Macro>Security
If you are currently on the Highest security setting, then selecting Medium will allow you to select whether macros are run or not.

Yesterday O2GDDE and the excel sheet (except for time updating) were working fine. Today the excel sheet, after I choose to update links, is not responding. I downloaded again the files, the O2GDDE works but still the excel file Order2GoDDE is not working. Any idea why?

which language
Of the languages that will operate the FXCM trading station commands through the API, which does the best job? Is VBA really adequate for the task? What would you recommend?
Thank you for your advice.  |

In order to update your Order2Go, please go to:
Start>Programs>FX Order2Go>Update Order2Go
If you are having problems with the update process, please re-install the complete new Order2Go rather than use the "Update Order2Go" program.

Problem Getting Time
Everything is running for me in this application except TIME. I only get the day with the time stuck at 00:00. Is there a way to get the actual time?
The formula looks correct in the spreadsheet and I believe I have the most current files posted.
Thanks
Dave

Have been running Order2GoDDE successfully for weeks and now
(Jan 20, 2008 9:00 PM PST) when try to run it keep getting message:
Cannot connect to www.fxcorporate.com server.
Trade and update servers are only available during normal trading desk hours. If you have received this error during normal trading desk hours, there may be a problem with your network settings or firewall software which is preventing the connection to the servers. Check it or contact your system adminstrator.
Norton Internet Security 2007 has the firewall for the programs
FXSettings.exe
fxupdater.exe
in Allow state. |
