Post From: How to configure Sierra Chart to connect to a local DTC Protocol Server Instance

Thanks for your response.

The Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Main Settings >> Current Selected Service is set to DTC Service.

I presume via above noted setting in File >> Data/Trade Service Setting >> Service.

The message log notes the following as it hangs:
DTC Service | Listening for connection on port 1234 | 2023-03-01 19:21:13.568

I am not aware of client's needing to set up listening ports. This is a server's job.

I am not able to find any documentation of the fields that become available when DTC Service is selected.

What is the purpose of the Listening Port field for a client? What is the difference between the "Server Address and Port" field versus the "Market Data Address and Port" fields? Would knowing such be helpful?

When Sierra Chart's starts up the connection process, it makes zero attempts to set up a connection with the running DTC Protocol Server. Such is verified in Sierra Chart's Message Log and in my own DTC Protocol Server verbose event log.
