Post From: Setting up a client instance for simulated trading

I have been reviewing the documentation regarding setting up a client instance for simulated trading. I have an trade account attached to my main instance. If I set up a "Client Instance" do I have to attach it to my IB trade account, or can I just run it off of the data feeds I have with you? They are as follows:

Sierra Chart Usage Time at Service Package 5 - Advanced.
Exchange Data Feed: 150 Real-Time Symbols (1st Connection)
Activated Exchange: Full CME Group (CME, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX) with Market Depth for nonprofessional Trading accounts
Activated Exchange: ICE USA
Activated Exchange: U.S. Equities (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, BATS)
Activated Exchange: BATS (NYSE, NASDAQ)

I see no need to tie this into IB since I am only going to use it for simulated trading.

I am doing this because I cannot get any simulated trade data from the Trade Activity Log
