I do automatic trading using API (python) in Interactive broker using non-tick data before. However, my new strategies require me to import tick data (number bars data) to my trading program and send order request to IB, may I ask how could I do this? Is there any documentation I should refer to? Thanks.

This is outside the scope of our support but there is export functionality within Sierra Chart. You can find the commands for this on the Edit menu:

You'll need to set the 'Intraday Data Storage Time Unit' to 1 tick:
Tick by Tick Data Configuration

Once you have changed the setting, you'll need to delete existing data and redownload the 1 tick data:

Edit Menu: Edit >> Delete All Data And Download

Also, concerning IB data, note item #3 here:

Thank you. I understood how to export tick data from Sierra Chart. But does Sierra Chart allow for live stream export of data?
