Hi Chad.

1+1=10, are you certain that DTC cannot get live CME data?

Sadly, yes. Below, I’m actually going to post the entire section entitled “Restrictions” from the using SC as a DTC Protocol Server docs from this link: Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol Server: Restrictions



Due to legal requirements imposed currently or in the future by exchanges, data providers, or any other market data relationship Sierra Chart has, the DTC Protocol Server may be changed to not provide market data from certain exchanges, or the user of the data may have to explain and state their use to ensure compliance and if it is not compliant, the functionality will be disabled for that user or users.

It is not possible to request or use streaming market from an IP other than on the local machine. This restriction can be removed for custom purposes upon request for approved and documented purposes which are approved by the exchanges to be used.

It is not possible to access real-time or historical data from the CME Group of exchanges from the DTC protocol server.

Also, on 2022 Jan 21, I asked SC Engineering the same question about CME real-time data and they confirmed that it is not available but Eurex is. (I can’t link to that thread as it is hidden.)

Adding one last bit of context, I believe the issue is that SC’s licensing arrangement with the CME allows them to display data but not distribute it. You can see a (possibly complete) list of CME approved distributors here:
