It is necessary that you connect Sierra Chart to the Interactive Brokers software in order to validate your Interactive Brokers account to qualify for the Non-Professional exchange fees from the CME Group.

In other words, you need to load the Interactive Brokers software on the same computer as Sierra Chart. Make sure that that installation of Interactive Brokers is connected to your Interactive Brokers account (we are not sure if you can have multiple computers connected at the same time, so it's possible you may have to turn off the software on your other computer, but that is something you will have to work out).

Then connect your Sierra Chart to the Interactive Brokers software on the same computer for 1 minute. To connect Sierra Chart to your Interactive Brokers software follow the instructions here:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Setup Instructions

Once that is done, you can disconnect Sierra Chart from the Interactive Brokers software (set the Service to "SC Data - All Services" and close the Interactive Brokers software on that computer.

You will need to do this at least once a month to verify your account to the CME Group.

Again, you will find the information for this here:
