Post From: DTC Server not sending MarketDataUpdateTrade messages to external client

I am developing an external automated trading system using Python and Rust. I want to base my signals on real-time market data (trades, bid/ask, depth) coming from Sierra Chart. I understand that due to exchange restrictions, DTC Protocol Server may not provide CME real-time market data to external programs. What are the supported or allowed ways to extract or receive real-time data from Sierra Chart for external analysis or execution purposes? For example: Can I read .scid or other chart log files in real-time from an external process? Is it permitted to use custom studies that write data to disk for external use? Are there any plugin or DLL-based approaches officially supported for external strategies? I want to ensure the solution I build is compliant with exchange and Sierra Chart policies.
