Post From: using dtc server for external indicator whilst using another data source?

I have an custom indicator that I compute from alot of code that I can't port and stuff into a DLL. So I would like to bring it into SC using the very nice DTC client-server protocol that is provided. I wrote up a little DTC test server to convey the indicator into SC and this works very nicely. SC plots my indicator beautifully. The only snag is that when setting the data source to DTC for the indicator, then I cannot at the moment figure out how to also subscribe to my broker/regular data feed at the same time. Can I be reading both? Ideally I would visually overlay my indicator (that SC retrieves as ticks by acting as a DTC client and subscribing to my indicator from my DTC server) on top of the bars from my regular data source. I've been searching and I see a discussion thread on the internet talking about using two different broker sources, so perhaps this is possible. However it is from 2011. https://futures.io/sierra-chart/7952-sierra-chart-multiple-trading-accounts-data-feeds-3.html Please advise. Thank you!
