If you are wanting to trade through Interactive Brokers, then you need to have the IB software running in order for Sierra Chart to connect to it. It does not mean that you are getting data from Interactive Brokers. As long as the option for Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Allow Support For Sierra Chart Data Feeds is set to Yes, then you will be getting real-time data from the exchanges that you have activated with us, from us (in your case, this is the CME Group data).

If you are not trading from Sierra Chart, then you can disconnect from Interactive Brokers, but you will need to connect at least once a month in order to verify your account for the CME Group requirement that allows you to pay the non-professional exchange fee. Refer to the following:
