I have to admit that the Realtime Status column in QuoteManager might be misleading. If the status for a symbol is Offline as shown in that particular column, it simply means that you only get the data coming if you plot a chart for the symbol. If you want to get data without plotting a chart, just right-click the symbol and click Connect Symbol.

Hi Sim,
The reason why you couldn't plot anything from the ARCA exchange is that your account might have no entitlement for this particular exchange. To check it, you can try and plot any of the ARCA symbols in TWS. If you can't plot any charts there as well that would mean you don't have entitlement for the symbols from this exchange.
Hope the above helps.
Best regards.
