We are going to give a strong incentive to these Trading services to adopt the DTC Protocol. So we do think it will be financially worth it for them. Additionally, it is far better for them to be using a standardized protocol so that any Client program supporting the DTC Protocol can automatically work with those trading services without any integration effort. This is a massive advantage. The DTC protocol is also an extremely well-designed communication protocol. It is the best there is. If these trading services believe in the concept, but are hesitant to adopt it because it is not widely used yet, then what we would say to them, is that change for the better is not going to occur unless they move forward. Since this protocol is originating from a leader in this industry, Sierra Chart, and from some of the best engineers around, it should be well regarded. Another argument for Data and Trading services for adopting a common communication protocol is why is it that a good quality and general-purpose charting and trading program like Sierra Chart, which has a good following, does not work with your Trading service? And why is it that a major effort has to be gone through in order to make that happen? The simple answer is because you are using a proprietary protocol and in some cases is not well designed. Or in some cases clearly poorly designed. Some people may think that a common communication protocol in this industry is impossible. We completely disagree and we believe this is the only outcome. We hold the vision that it is possible and absolutely believe it will happen. And we encourage others in this industry to join us. Great things can be achieved by believing in something, especially something that makes sense and is technically possible. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
