Post From: 'Use Market Data Direct From Primary Server' setting

That setting only applies for this service:
Data/Trade Service Settings >> Main Settings >> Service >> Current Selected Service : "DTC - Sub Instance [trading]"

Yes this is correct, but trading is going to be routed through the server specified with the Server Address and Server Port settings for that service:

if 'Use Market Data Direct From Primary Server' = Yes then market data is coming from SierraChart servers and only trading is routed via DTC.

Although this also depends upon the particular symbol. It would have to be a symbol where market data is provided by Sierra Chart.
