This seems like a reasonable approach:
Presently I am duplicating the SCNewOrder generated by the trading system to a json file that is constantly being opened and read back into an SCNewOrder and modified by the other trade service instances.

However, you could create a network socket-based client that uses the DTC Server to send orders to another instance of Sierra Chart using the DTC server. Refer to:

Whether it is practical or not to use an ACSIL-based trading system to utilize the Windows sockets API, is hard to say but you can try.

You probably would want to set sc.UpdateAlways to TRUE and use synchronous nonblocking network socket calls.
