Post From: Primary Instance Chart Bars Not Updating When Brokerage Disconnected on Denali

When you disconnect from TWS, then it is normal for you to not be able to get the data from Sierra Chart.

We are a bit confused as to why it appears you are getting some updates to your Sub-Instance.

But, in general, if you have a need to do charting when you are not connected to Interactive Brokers, then you will need to set your Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Main Settings >> Current Selected Service to SC Data - All Services.

Just make sure that you translate the symbols when you switch your service settings. When you select OK on the Data/Trade Service Settings window you will get a prompt to change the symbols - you should select Yes. If you do not, or if you need to do the translation later (such as for another chartbook) then you can do this by selecting Edit >> Translate Symbols to Current Service.

You should then be receiving the real-time data from our data feed. Just keep in mind that if you are getting non-professional data from the CME Group, then you need to connect to your IB account at least once a month. Refer to the following:
