The connection Sierra Chart makes to Interactive Brokers is through the TWS software from Interactive Brokers. This needs to be running on the same computer as Sierra Chart in order to make the connection. The message you are receiving is stating that Sierra Chart is not able to make a connection to the TWS software, hence the question about whether it is running or not.

If TWS is running on the same computer, then go through the Setup Instructions for Interactive Brokers at the following link and make sure everything is setup correctly:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
