I have an Excel spreadsheet with live data from MT4. Works nicely.
Here's the problem:
I am running 2 instances of MT4, (different broker feeds).
Question: How can I defferentiate the 2 instances of MT4 in Excel ?
My link looks like this:
=MT4|BID!'#FDXU2'
I thought that maybe I could somehow rename the instance of the program, and so refer to in in Excel by that name, like this:
=MT4a|BID!'#FDXU2'
and
=MT4b|BID!'#FDXU2'
Any ideas if I can do this ?
Thanks in advance.

As all the terminals offer the same DDE-server-name you only can run each broker on a different pc.
Or you use something else like named pipes..

how do I do use "named pipes" for excel get real time data from two instance of mt4
i try to use google search about name pipes for mt4 , it's run some ea in each instance of mt4, to send price to name pipe
and
what else to do about this
you have to write a named pipe part for the terminal and you have to write another macro for Exel - the other end of the named pipe.
May be you are lucks and found something by google.
As far as I know, the DDE server name is embedded inside the TERMINAL.EXE binary program.
If you wish to "manipulate" it with a HEX EDITOR, you probably could find the instances of the MT4 string and replace them with other of your preference.
The only thing you should pay attention is when a new program update is published, you must rebuild the changes again.
I hope it will be useful for you.
Best regards!!
