I'm exploring writing a DTC server to interface with the new TastyTrade API and would ideally like to use Denali market data. Is it possible?

Yes it is possible through adjusting the Symbol Settings. You would need to add custom Symbol Settings for the symbols. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

@glacialspring did you succeed with this? I am trying to do the same (Denali Data with a custom DTC server for trading with Schwab). Could you elaborate on what setup you used on the SC side? Thanks.

You can use the DTC server to get trade events, so it would be possible to trade on Schwab using those. Market data is no longer available through the DTC server due to regulations so you'll have to do any processing within Sierra Chart.

Thanks. I guess my questions is, when I set the Data/Trade Service setting to connect to my DTC server for trading functionality, how do I still get the Denali realtime data for my chart? The trade service and data service seem to be a single setting instead of seperate.

Not sure this is going to work, but these are the relevant Symbol Settings: <sc-data-symbol>ES?##</sc-data-symbol> <sc-data-symbol-multiplier>0.01</sc-data-symbol-multiplier> <sc-data-srvcode>cme</sc-data-srvcode> <realtime-data-client>SC_Exchange_Data_Service_Sub_Client_4</realtime-data-client> But this may not work trying to change those. Although it should work if you have your own custom symbol. So you have to create your own custom Symbol Settings for the symbol that you are using in the instance of Sierra Chart connected to your DTC server. And modify the above settings appropriately.

Following up on this thread, as neither of the earlier posters reported a result. To be clear about direction: I am not asking to send Denali data out of Sierra Chart's DTC Server. Market data would stay inside Sierra Chart. Only orders would leave, to my own DTC Server. Configuration: - Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Service = DTC Service, pointed at my own DTC Server on 127.0.0.1. - My DTC Server sets MarketDataSupported = 0 and HistoricalPriceDataSupported = 0 in LOGON_RESPONSE. It handles trading messages only, for US equities, in my own account, for my own use. - Integrated Package 12. Denali subscription includes US equities consolidated tape and Nasdaq TotalView. Question: with that configuration, can the Denali US equities feed supply real-time and historical data to charts in that same instance? Earlier in this thread you suggested custom Symbol Settings using <realtime-data-client>SC_Exchange_Data_Service_Sub_Client_4</realtime-data-client>, but noted it may not work. Is that the supported method, and is it expected to work for US equities? If it is not, would a custom listed service as described on the Services for Brokers page be eligible for Denali integration the way the supported trading services are?

Following up with a result, in case it helps the others in this thread. This does work. With Current Selected Service = DTC Service pointed at my own DTC server (MarketDataSupported = 0, HistoricalPriceDataSupported = 0, trading messages only), Denali feeds the charts normally. A symbol with no cached data files mapped, downloaded 4.1 years of daily plus intraday history, showed the [M] indicator, and connected the Denali Data Feed. Intraday bars and footprint charts render correctly. What was needed: Symbol Settings are stored per service code, and the fresh "dtc" set is empty. Copying the wildcard pattern templates from the SC Data service code across (bare ? through ??????????, plus the -NQTV family) supplies the mapping. The fields that matter per template are Symbol Service Code, SC Data Service Code, SC Data Symbol, Real-Time Data Client, and the two Historical Data Source fields. Common Settings >> Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds is set to Yes. One trap worth flagging for anyone else trying this: the Real-Time Data Client dropdown alternates real-time and Delayed entries for each sub-client number, so it is easy to select the Delayed variant by mistake. Charts still populate and still show [M], so nothing looks wrong -- the only tell is the Message Log naming "Delayed Data Feed" instead of "Denali Data Feed". My question now is narrower: is this a supported configuration? I subscribe to Nasdaq TotalView and the US Equities Consolidated Tape on Package 12, everything runs on one machine, and no market data leaves Sierra Chart -- only orders go to my own server. But I would rather know now whether you consider this outside intended use, or whether it is likely to stop working in a future version, before I build anything further on top of it.

gosh what a gift and thank you for the amazing leg work i've seriously contemplated a similar dtc server bridge on several occasions but keep procrastinating simply because it would be a heap of code just to realize sierrachart would not support it or would intentionally restrict it again, thank you for sharing!
