Post From: Using Denali data with IB & TWS

I've transitioned to Denali with IB for trade service after following the instructions on the Denali page.
I assume everything is ok as I can see the [M] in the chart header and chart data is updating real time. However, when I shut down TWS, the chart stops updating and I get the Service Connection Error message. Does this mean I must be connected to TWS at all times to get new data, even if I just want to review charts and not trade? Should I be connecting to SC data in these instances instead?
My setup has multiple workbooks for each instrument (per below) so wondering how I best do this with Denali and IB.
- 1 workbook for live trading (ie with IB)
- 1 workbook for offline chart analysis
- 1 workbook for replay/practice
- 1 workbook for live sim trading
Do I need another instance of SC when I'm connected to IB for live trading and connect to SC data for the rest in the main instance?
Lastly, there are some Asian markets I connect to with IB for data & trading. Will I have to run a separate instance of SC to the one I am using with Denali and IB?
