RTD or DDE

I would like to export live account and other data to an excel spreadsheet. DDE does not work, I assume because it's been replaced by RTD, which does not appear to be active in RT. Is there another simple option for what I'm trying to accomplish? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Hello,
i have no issue running the IRT DDE - For the record, I am getting updates of hundreds of quotes, customer indicators and live trading signal in Excel, mainly through V# variables - It is also very easy to color code Excel cells upon value updates to build a nice custom dashboard.
You can also get live updates of Text variables (T#) being updated in IRT by running TSYS (live Trading Systems indicators)
I think you just have to make sure that the DDE protocol is activated in Excel (see screenshot below) as it is turned off by default...

PS : as far as i know, it wasn't replace by RTD
PS2 : I am running the IRT DDE on Windows 11 & Microsoft 365 - (Not sure what is your configuration...)
