You definitely can use the DTC Protocol server and connect a DTC Protocol client and submit orders through it. If you have an issue like this:

There must be some issue with the encoding. Yes JSON encoding can be used. Make sure each message is separated with a null character.

The easiest solution is to use ACSIL:
