I am trying to link Sierra Chart quote data directly into Excel using RTD or DDE. The documentation mentions RTD support, but in my current version there is no “Enable RTD Server” option anywhere in Global Settings → General Settings or any other menu. Excel formulas like =RTD("SierraChartRTD",,"ES","Bid") only return #N/A. Can you confirm whether RTD or DDE is still supported in the current Sierra Chart version, and if so, where the setting is located? If it has been removed, what is the recommended method to feed live quote data into Excel? Thank you. |

There is no support for this and we are not even certain if there ever was. We are not able to find any documentation that may still have references to this ability. You state that there is a reference to "RTD support". Please let us know where you found this so we can remove it. You can not get real-time data directly from Sierra Chart using any method. The exchanges do not allow it. You can access the data from inside Sierra Chart using a custom study. Refer to the following: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Introduction For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
