If you are writing a program for your own use and the external trading service does not use FIX but another protocol like a simple protocol using a direct socket or HTTP, writing a bridge program interface the trading service interface to the DTC Protocol, will be fine.

Having someone else do this, we generally do not recommend that this be done unless they are using the trading interface themselves.

Also another problem with FIX is order IDs. Sierra Chart has a standardized method for working with FIX order IDs. FIX order IDs can be complicated and having an intermediary program handle this, is very difficult and impractical.
