    I believe you are logged into IB from multiple instances using same data account..

    No idea why you are getting that msg.

    Unless you intend to trade on the chart itself (dragging orders, sl and tp), with IB and specially tws, I would consider charting somewhere else and executing on tws/app.
    Tws charts are ok but not so reliable.

    You are trying to log in to IB and read data from two different computers. Not allowed.

    In Account Management, share your live data with the paper account, then you can log in to both the real and paper accounts on the same computer.
