Post From: SC Data with IB

I have SC Data and use IB for trading, and I would like to be able to open SC without opening TWS (for instance in the evenings to review charts but not trade). They are both set up to "connect on program startup" however it seems SC Data is not starting, and all my charts revert to Historical from Intraday when I open SC unless TWS is open beforehand.

My chart settings are set with the SC Data symbol (ESH17 for example) and the "Trade and current quote symbol" is set to that of IB (which I thought was the proper way to do it base on this http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartHistoricalData.php#Symbol_Differences). So my question is, is it necessary to open TWS at all times while running SC, even though the data is still coming from SC Data? If not, please advise how to remedy this.

Thanks,
