Hi Ticks et al.,

So there’s three ways the DTC Protocol is used in SC:

1. Send data from a main SC instance to a SC sub instance.

2. However it is used with Rithmic, which I assume is to send data from RTraderPro to SC.

3. Send data from a main SC instance to a user-created external program, such as a form. At least according to the SC DTC Protocol Server docs you can’t get live CME data in this way: Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol Server: Restrictions

The last sentence at that link under the Restriction heading says:
It is not possible to access real-time or historical data from the CME Group of exchanges from the DTC protocol server.

I also asked SC Engineering around 2 months ago and they said you couldn’t send CME data to a custom program through DTC.

Of course, it is possible the docs are outdated and whoever answered from SC is mistaken. Are you using live CME data through DTC to a custom app currently?
