I've covered this in other threads but the short of the restriction is because:

1. SC would be happy to distribute data from any feed through DTC provided they can do so at a reasonable cost.

2. However, the CME charges $96k a year to distribute real-time data. You can see that under the CME's Fee Schedule under the first heading "Annual Data Distribution License" here: https://www.cmegroup.com/market-data/distributor/files/mdla-cme-schedule-5-apr-2020.pdf
NOTE: It is $24k for CME, CBOT, NYMEX, & COMEX each.

3. You can see a list of licensed CME real-time data distributors here: https://www.cmegroup.com/market-data/license-data/licensed-market-data-distributors.html ... Names you might recognize include CQG, Trading Technologies, Barchart, DTN LLC (IQFEED), etc.

4. SC's CME real-time data license likely only allows use within SC rather than distribution; if they were send it to an external program through DTC they'd be violating the terms of their license.

5. By the way, I really wanted live CME data through DTC to work because it would enable me to bypass SC's chart update interval & reduce the latency of my algorithms. I'm just trying to help but if @Tonkadad or anyone else wants to start a new thread to ask SC Engineering I'm sure they will respond.
