DDE Getting data into Microsoft Excel and other

applications
T4 supports sending data via DDE to other applications, such as Microsoft Excel.

To send quote data you need to have an open Quote Board window containing the markets that you want to see, then click the
DDE button and go to Excel. Right click on a cell in Excel and choose the Paste menu item. This will paste a table of links
to T4 that contain the same markets and columns as your Quote Board. Alternatively, you can right click on a single value in
the Quote Board and select the Copy DDE Link menu item, then paste into Excel and only that value will be linked.

Note: For Excel to get quotes the Market MUST be displayed in the T4 frontend somewhere, either in a Quote Board or
contract window BEFORE it is linked to from Excel. This also applies if you are loading a saved Excel spreadsheet.

The DDE link format for market data in Excel is:

=T4Screen|MKT_<marketid>!<value>

Where:
<marketid> is the unique identifier for the market in T4. This does not match any exchange published symbol. You can only
obtain these by using the above method of copying the link for a value from T4 and pasting it into Excel or some other
application.
<value> is the data value of the market that you want, for example last trade price. The valid values are shown below:

<value>

Meaning

Description

The name of the market.

Numerator

The smallest amount that the price of a market can move by, in ticks.

Denominator

The denominator used for converting ticks into price and vice-versa.

Settlement_Price

The last settlement price received.

Settlement_Ticks

T4 Client

Appendix
205205205

Open_Price

The opening trade price for the day.

Open_Ticks
High_Price

The highest traded price for the day.

High_Ticks
Low_Price

The lowest traded price for the day.

Low_Ticks
Mode

The current market state, e.g. PreOpen, Open, Closed etc.

Total_Traded_Volum
e

The total volume traded by this market today.

Last_Trade_Volume

The last volume traded at the current price. If the frontend is set to show the total traded at this price
since the last price changed then that value will be sent, otherwise the volume just traded will be
sent.

Last_Trade_Price

The price of the last trade to occur.

Last_Trade_Ticks
Bid_Volume

The volume of the current best bid.

Bid_Price

The price of the current best bid.

Bid_Ticks
Offer_Volume

The volume of the current best offer.

Offer_Price

The price of the current best offer.

Offer_Ticks
Net_Change_Price

The net change from the last settlement price to the last trade price.

Net_Change_Ticks

The last trade information will include trades in outrights due to spreads trading if the frontend is configured to show that
information itself.
The Bid and Offer information will include implied prices if the frontend is configured to show it.
The difference between the _TICKS and _PRICE values is that the _PRICE values are display prices (what you see on the
frontend, e.g. 30yr bond = 11215) and the _TICKS values are the internal equivalent that can have math done on it (e.g. 30yr
bond = 11215 = 112 points + 15/32 = expressed as a total number of 32nds is (112 * 32) + 15 = 3599).
To send account and position data you can use the same method as above, except using the Account window instead of the
Quote Board. Note that if you trade in a new market then Excel will not automatically detect that position, you must place links
in Excel for each specific position that you want.

T4 Client

Appendix
206206206

The DDE link format for account data in Excel is:

=T4Screen|ACT_<accountid>!<value>
Where:

obtain these by using the above method of copying the link for a value from T4 and pasting it into Excel or some other
application.
