Is it possible to configure a "DTC Service" and use that for only for trading while relying on SC Data for the market data?

Specifically, we are thinking of doing the following:

1. Use the "DTC Service" connecting to a custom DTC server that provides trading services to one of the Forex Exchanges. This DTC connection will only support trading
2. Open a forex chart and receive data from "SC Data - All Services"

The data should be received from SC's data, the trading would be done against the custom DTC server.

This is analogous to using Denali for data while trading against IB for against but not sure if this can be done with the "DTC Service" connection.

Is it possible to configure SC to do that? If "yes", can you advise on the steps or send a link to documentation?

This can be done.

Add new custom symbol settings:
Global Symbol Settings

And these are the settings to use:

<sc-data-symbol>AUDJPY</sc-data-symbol>
<sc-data-symbol-multiplier>1</sc-data-symbol-multiplier>
<sc-data-srvcode>fxcm</sc-data-srvcode>
<realtime-data-client>SC_Data_Server_Sub_Client_1</realtime-data-client>
<historical-daily-data-source>SC_INTERNAL_SERVERS_STANDARD_ADDRESS</historical-daily-data-source>
<historical-intraday-data-source>SC_INTERNAL_SERVERS_STANDARD_ADDRESS</historical-intraday-data-source>


You can do direct editing of the XML files:
Global Symbol Settings: Direct Editing of Global Symbol Settings through Underlying File

Of course change the symbol to what you require.
