Post From: [BUG] SierraChart as DTC client uses 6 more bytes in MarketDataUpdateTrade

The latest files for binary encoding has version 8 and MarketDataUpdateTrade declared like this:
  struct s_MarketDataUpdateTrade
  {
    uint16_t Size;
    uint16_t Type;

    uint32_t SymbolID;

    AtBidOrAskEnum AtBidOrAsk;

    double Price;
    double Volume;
    t_DateTimeWithMilliseconds DateTime;

which is 34 bytes. but latest sierra chart connected as a DTC client to my DTC server expects 40 bytes (found it by tinkering for 2hrs)..

this is working:

28 00 6b 00 01 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 03 02 01 00 76 a7 40 00 00 00 00 00 76 a7 40 8f c2 85 cb e1 15 d8 4
|<------------->| these 6 bytes between AtBidOrAsk and Price fields are not in the c++ files and idk what they are

this is supposed to work but doesnt:
22 00 6b 00 01 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 76 a7 40 00 00 00 00 00 40 59 40 89 41 50 80 de 15 d8 41

I am sure I set version to 8 on the handshake. So either SC is still running a different version or there is a bug in the message processing in SC.

Question - can you fix this? what these 6 bytes are for?
