I thought the limitation of the API was such that you can only read streams
from global server, not write into it, and that streams read via API from
the server can not be fed as input to your studies.
I think I can understand why the DLL could work anyway, more or less
delivering an indicator value that is based on a second symbol, but can it
really feed anything back to the global server?
