Interactive Brokers & SC Data

I am currently trialing SC with SC Data. My broker is Interactive Brokers, with whom I use an Advisor Account. I have successfully set up SC Data and Interactive Brokers but have a couple of questions

1. My trades do not route to IB when connected to SC Data, but when I connect to IB it seems to "turn off" my SC Data. So when I want to route a trade to IB I manually change the Data/Trade Service from SC Data to IB [trading], the orders route fine but my charts no longer update. I assume they should run simultaneously; SC Data running real time data and my connection to IB just for trading. How can I fix this?

2. I use the "Trade Window" to execute a chart trade which is great, however I would prefer to just right-click on the chart and enter a limit price from there - a feature I see but I don't see a way to save settings (profit/Stop Loss settings, Quantity, account etc.) so that they are automatically saved for future trades. Is there a place to save such settings?

Thanks

Please disregard my first question, I have it working properly now. Second question still valid however

Thanks,
