Sierra Chart connects to Interactive Brokers through the TWS software. That software needs to be running at the same time and on the same computer as your Sierra Chart software, otherwise a connection will not be made. Make sure the TWS software is running.

If the TWS software is running, then go through the Setup Instructions at the following link to ensure that everything is setup properly:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
