Hi SC, I’m noticing that for equities/ETFs, the price on the chart updates in real-time, but the candlestick/bar lags behind, unlike futures, where everything updates simultaneously. I have already tried enabling “Include Odd Lot Equity Trades.” Is there a way to make equity candlesticks update in real-time with every trade, like futures? |

For one chart where you have this occur, what is "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol" set to?

For the charts where this occurs, it happens with any equity, including NVDA, TSLA, and even the SPY ETF. I’ve attached a video showing TSLA side-by-side with MES: you can see that TSLA candlesticks lag slightly, whereas MES moves fully synchronized with the price.

Most likely this does relate to Odd Lot trades. Check this setting: Data/Trade Service Settings: Process Known Odd Lot Equity Trades for DTC Services (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Other Settings) You need to reconnect after enabling that.
