We have started an initiative at Sierra Chart for a common communication protocol for the communication of market data and trading orders and data.

This is the DTC Protocol:
http://dtcprotocol.org/

We are actively working on the protocol now to fully implement it within Sierra Chart both as a client and server. And to bring the documentation fully up-to-date.

It is our hope that this protocol will be widely adopted and we believe this can be achieved.

We would like to know if you want to see the following Trading services adopted the DTC Protocol in order for Sierra Chart to be compatible with them:

MB Trading:
http://www.mbtrading.com/

Oanda:
http://www.oanda.com/

Tradier:
https://brokerage.tradier.com/

If so, simply post a response that states the name of the trading service from the list above.


We also want to announce, that the Indian data provider True Data will be adopting the DTC Protocol:
https://www.truedata.in/

The purpose of these votes is to help convince these particular trading services to adopt the DTC protocol. Two of them Oanda and Tradier, have expressed an interest in this. We intend to follow up with them regarding adoption of the DTC Protocol. But we also want to show them interest among our users as well.

Two of the above services use a HTTP based API for interface to their systems. We do not regard this kind of interface, as an efficient or well-designed interface. We have a video presentation about this, and we may post it.
