I have an custom indicator that I compute from alot of code that I can't port and stuff into a DLL. So I would like to bring it into SC using the very nice DTC client-server protocol that is provided. I wrote up a little DTC test server to convey the indicator into SC and this works very nicely. SC plots my indicator beautifully. The only snag is that when setting the data source to DTC for the indicator, then I cannot at the moment figure out how to also subscribe to my broker/regular data feed at the same time. Can I be reading both? Ideally I would visually overlay my indicator (that SC retrieves as ticks by acting as a DTC client and subscribing to my indicator from my DTC server) on top of the bars from my regular data source. I've been searching and I see a discussion thread on the internet talking about using two different broker sources, so perhaps this is possible. However it is from 2011. https://futures.io/sierra-chart/7952-sierra-chart-multiple-trading-accounts-data-feeds-3.html Please advise. Thank you! |

Can I be reading both? Yes this is supported in newer versions of Sierra Chart and is documented here:https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/MultipleServices.html#AccessingMarketDataFromOtherInstancesOfSierra%20Chart Now the documentation explains how to do this in relation to another instance of Sierra Chart, the source instance, but that other instance is a DTC server . So just consider that other "source" instance to be your own DTC server. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

That is good. And yes it is really neat what can be done with this functionality.

SC acting as a DTC client and connecting to my DTC server is working well, using the added XML configuration in GlobalSymbolSettings.xml. Now I'd like to secure that connection with the TLS, to avoid the password being snooped. Question: Is there an XML field or other setting inside SC to supply the root TLS certificate for my server? (so SC would only trust my server if it supplied a properly signed cert). |

No, there is no setting for that. We will have to see about that later on.
