I have my own home-made trading platform. I will be getting a Denali EUREX subscription. If I am using DTC Protocol Server to feed my app with live EUREX data, can I also use my app to trade with either AMP or Interactive Brokers? Is there anything I should know before I commence?

You can not get access to the real-time data directly. The DTC Protocol does not allow you to do this. Refer to the following: Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol Server: Restrictions For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

oh, that is really disappointing. Respectfully suggest you add that restriction to this page as well. This was the only page I had read. DTC Protocol Chatting with Claude, it was suggested that I could do this. But I do not want to contravene any Sierra Chart rules at all. I am on your side. Sierra Chart's C++ plugin system, and custom studies built with it have access to all of the main price graph and study data, tick by tick data, time and sales data, and Depth of Market Data. Critically, this is data access inside the Sierra Chart process itself — it's not going out over the DTC server, so the DTC exchange restriction doesn't apply to it. That restriction is specifically a DTC Protocol Server rule, not a "you may never move this data anywhere" rule.
So the pattern for your app would be: write an ACSIL study (or use sc.WriteBarAndStudyDataToFileEx / the existing "Write Bar and Study Data To File" study as a template) that reads DOM/depth data from within Sierra Chart, and pushes it out to your Python side via a channel that isn't the DTC server — e.g.: writing to a local file that your app tails, a named pipe / local shared memory segment, or a local socket you open yourself from inside the ACSIL DLL (not the DTC server's socket). |

What "Claude" states is correct. You can create an ACSIL study and access the data that way. It is the DTC Protocol that currently does not allow it as that is accessing the actual real-time data as opposed to having it processed in Sierra Chart first.
