Post From: Using the DTC Protocol Server that SC provides to route orders from own charting platform

I read recently (can't remember where) that SC might stop using the DTC Protocol Server to allow users to write their own charting/trading platforms and route orders through SC. I believe it had something to do with the CME and it changing its policy. Is this correct or am I mistaken?

I'm trying to use your Data/order-routing/DTC-server to funnel live data to a fully automated trading suite that I am writing in Common Lisp for personal use. I rarely look at charts anymore and am attempting to analyze cross-asset/cross-sector flow as numbers only, come up with trading decisions, and then route the orders to SC for live execution with Stage 5 Trading. Basically I'm writing my own software on the backend and using you guys for data + order execution only. Aside from the fact that direct CME data + order execution is several thousand dollars a month, you guys have always done right by me and I'm trying to stay with SC as long as possible even though I have outgrown the traditional charting platform + broker model.

Questions:
1) What is the way forward? Is the DTC server still on the table or are there other options I should be exploring to route my orders through you for execution?
2) Also, do you have a data feed for options pricing, depth of market, and anything else options related?
3) I recently subscribed to NASDAQ TotalView + Consolidated Tape. Will this give me full depth-of-market for all ETFs and Stocks traded on NASDAQ?

I'm trying to get all data + info under SC if possible without having to go to another provider.

Thank you.
