I have a position sizing spreadsheet that uses DDE links to MT4 to calculate the position size for different account value, risk% and stop value.
I've used this quite successfully on and off for several years, with a variety of different MT4 downloads. Now I'm finding that when this spreadsheet tries to update the DDE links, it just hangs Excel...presumably because it can't find the MT4 DDE server. I have the DDE server enabled in MT4 and the spreadsheet uses the standard syntax eg =MT4|BID!EURUSD.
So something seems to have changed either on the MS side or the MT4 side and I can't figure out what.
Any ideas?
