Hello, do you know how can I use Sierra Chart independently of TWS? If I close TWS, SC data not working anymore. Thank you.

The way to do this is to change the "Current Selected Service" to "SC Data - All Services" and then you would have to change your symbols.

Rather than changing back and forth between services, we recommend installing a second Sierra Chart on the same computer, so you do not need to pay any additional fees, and keep that second installation to have the "Current Selected Service" set to "SC Data - All Services".

Your other installation will then always be connected to Interactive Brokers. And if you disconnect the TWS software, then you can just leave that Sierra Chart alone, or close it down. Then you can work with the other installation without having to change everything around.

Refer to the following for how to install a second Sierra Chart:
