Hi Support, We are trying to build a simple small windows application that display the real time values of HSI from Hong Kong. You can imagine it's nearly as simple as just one text boxe displaying the live value of the index, no histroy is required. I am currently researching where I can get live data feed from and I came across your platform. I read your page : Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed , however I failed to picture how we can consume the values from your application to our application. Would you mind to point me to the right direction? Many thanks in advance. Regards, Alex |

Thanks Support, We've reviewed a few options out there on the internet and think your solution is the best, so we will go ahead. I have just applied an advanced account and is going through the documentation via the link that you sent me above. Quick question, what is the symbol for the HSI from Hong Kong? This is the index and we need a real time datafeed for it, no historical data is needed, just the latest value : https://www.ig.com/en/indices/markets-indices/hong-kong-hs42 I can't seem to find the symbol in the drop down box. I may have a few other questions in the near future until we got it up and running, I would like to say thanks in advance. Regards, Alex |

For the real-time Hong Kong futures data you need to use this service: Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed The symbols are listed in File >> Find Symbol >> Futures-HKFE There is also the CFD symbol in File >> Find Symbol >>CFD-FXCM: HKG33 Full documentation for the DTC protocol server is here: Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol Server You must read the documentation and understand it and not rely on us.

Hi Support, Thanks, but I'm not "Relying" you you guys, it is just that your documentation doesn't have any examples of the payloads. If it is well documented, that means having the scripting reference, script and payload examples, and tutorial videos, then there is no need for us to come asking for support. Regards, Alex |

Hi Support, Also, I AM reading the documentation : Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol Server I am up to the "Server Usage" -> point 15, and it doesn't say how to create a message to your DTC server, how the message looks like ( this is where i need examples but it is not in your documentation ) and what the messages coming back from DTC server looks like. Also the DTC Github Repository page does not exist, it is returning HTTP404 when I open it : https://github.com/DTC-protocol/DTC/ I'm not trying make a fuss here, please understand I'm trying to get this task done, without examples it will require support for new users to onboard your service. Regards, Alex |

You should not need any examples because the data structures are provided if you are using non JSON encoding. Refer to: DTC Protocol: Message Format and Encoding And there are examples in the case of JSON encoding. This has been removed and the documentation corrected: Also the DTC Github Repository page does not exist, it is returning HTTP404 when I open it : https://github.com/DTC-protocol/DTC/ Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
