Thank you. I have copied to post to DTC protocol forum as well. There wasn't much traffic there, that's why I decided to post here instead.

The use case for a DTC server program is to enable trading on a third-party exchange that is not yet supported in SierraChart. Does that sound reasonable to you?

Here is a setup I have in mind.

SierraChart instance 1 [DTC service] --> Custom DTC proxy ---> Third-party exchange // port 11101 for trading
SierraChart instance 1 [DTC service] --> SierraChart instance 2 [Market Data Service] // port 11099 for market data
SierraChart instance 1 [DTC service] --> SierraChart instance 2 [Historical Data] // port 11097 for history data


The DTC proxy acts as a DTC server to sierrachart instance 1, and as a websocket client to the third party exchange. I understand the goal of DTC is to eliminate this type of work, but the reality is usually more complex than necessary.

The proxy is written in Go.
