Is it possible to use the SierraChart data, yet trade off the charts into the Interactive Brokers platform (for stocks)? I read the instructions on setting up IB as the Data/trade service and it looks like I would have to use their data.

If I set "Interactive Brokers [Trading]" as my Service in my Global Settings, have the "Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds" enabled. Have SierraChrat data on my account (with the right exchange subscribed), and set up the API settings on my IB account as you described, Will I be using the SierraChart Data service, and yet live trade off my charts?

Yes this is fully supported. It is explained here:

However, some symbols require more complete formatting to trade them through Interactive Brokers. You will find those in File >> Find Symbol >> Specific Stocks. There are others as well which are unlisted. More details are here:
