There is no link to this page: Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol Server On this page: DTC Protocol But, there should be because: Home >> (Table of Contents) External Interfaces >> Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol >> Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol Server This is why Sierra Chart is so difficult to use and get started with for beginners, because of sloppy errors like this. That and the verbosity. You guys are just too verbose. I think I've now spent more than 50 hours reading Sierra Chart documentation, but not in a joyful and pleasant manner, no, in a very stressful, pain-inducing, headache-inducing manner.

There is a good reason why this page: Data and Trading Communications (DTC) Protocol Server Is not listed here: DTC Protocol It is because the DTC Protocol server in Sierra Chart is very Sierra Chart specific and the page about the DTC protocol itself, is not meant to contain information specific to Sierra Chart.

Wow, totally logical. 110% logical. Well in that case explain why on this page: DTC Messages and Procedures There's no "(Opens a new page)" next to the 10 links that open a new page. That's very clever of Sierra Chart to be putting links to new pages in the middle of a Table of Contents. A mere minion of orthodoxy (you know, a normal person) might at a glance assume foolishly that these links don't open a new page. But, these people simply don't understand the subtle brilliance of Sierra Chart documentation. I was actually one of those people who didn't understand. Now I understand.

We have added the note that each link "Opens a New Page", and we have set them to actually open in a new tab.
