Post From: Using DTC as a substiture for remote data and local instance for trading

Hello SC team - so far I have been using your traditional way of using "remote data" to bring up the chart and using the local trading symbol for trading.

I would like to switch to DTC mode to see if I could do the following.

Went through the doc listed at this page - http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/DTCServer.php#UsingDTCServerForDataAndTradingInAnotherSCInstance

But there are few questions remain.

- I would like to use the data/trading from service - A (say CTS as an example)
- I would like to use the trading only using service - B (say IB as an example) and data needs to come from the above CTS instance.

So far the steps followed - in the CTS instance enabled DTC protocol server with listening port 11099 & historical port 11098.

Assuming I would have to configure second instance with "DTC Sub-instance". Is this the correct assumption? If so where do I fill-in the IB account details in this sub-instance?

If this is not a correct assumption - would you please let me know how to go about this?

Thanks
