Hi,

I'm trying to programatically define a bar for Renko chart type, but the values that are read in ACSIL script, are different from the ones that the Chart is showing with candles, but the same as the ones visible in Chart Values window.
Take a look at the screenshot attached. Time of the last renko bar: 22:23:39.

The difference is on Open, High and Last values; the Low value seems to be ok - Chart Values Window shows the same value as candle on the Chart itself

It seems like a bug to me - meaning, the graphical representation on chart is totally different from what is defined in the Chart Values window.
Unfortunately I cannot see the raw data from file, because this is intraday, so the the file is F.US.MYMM25.scid and contains binary data inside.
Or maybe it has something to do with some extra configuration I need to do?

(It happens on both Data/Trade Service Settings - SC Data - All Services and CQG WebAPI)

Not a bug.

OHLC in the chart values window are the actual values for the period of the renko bar.
However, with renko charts, you also need to look at renko open and renko close (which are also shown in the values window and accessible via ACSIL).
