Thus I'm keeping my SC code to a minimum, and trying to use Kiwi's idea to feed SC with a custom feed with only entry/exit/mm sigs:
Python for Sierra Chart
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/IntradayDataFileFormat.html#FeedSierraChartData

But instead of Python, I'm trying to do all my trade logic in nim, which is like Python/Pascal/C all rolled together, so FAST to develop, compile, and execute...perfection. Once DTC has released some Python API examples (maybe just the user contributed ones will be fine), I'll try porting them to nim: http://nim-lang.org/

SC is the best at a) data feeds; b) trade execution; c) maybe charting. Everything else (backtesting, etc) should be doable within your own 3rd-party client. And since SC supports DTC, that could be a reality.

I don't want SC to be a jack of all trades, or try to be the best at everything. I want it to keep being what it is, but let me add-on my own logic on top of everything, in my own 3rd-party app (C++ DLL's as currently provisioned are great, but nim will be better for me). The more powerful and easy DTC and associated API's are, the better things will be for SC and clients.
