Ok so I did a full reset on my symbols, the GlobalSymbolSettings.xml changed from 4.26MB to 826kb

I go to the daily chart and select "Delete all data and download", Chart->"Reload and Recalculate"

It makes no difference.

So I create a "new" chart by clicking "Find Symbol", locating the March contract and selecting "New Daily chart" I then open chart settings and select Volume based roll over. I choose Candlesticks. I get chart attached.

One of the problems I find with Sierra is that there are a lot of setting on many pages and menus and it can be very difficult to remember what settings have been changed. In Visual Studio it shows the edited project properties in bold. It also has a page for "All Options". Its tabulated into a standardised format and each item has a help box at the bottom with a single line explanation of what it does. I wonder if something like this would be good for Sierra. A button on the menu bar which would "Highlight differences with defaults" would tint UI elements that are not default. "Highlight changed settings" would tint things edited since the window was opened (or since it was loaded or something). Sometimes it's easy to accidentally change something. Or to change something and then get distracted and not know what was changed. I honestly have no idea which of my settings are non-standard any more. I've attached a mock-up of the idea to let you see what I'm talking about. It might be 'easy' for you to change background colours of UI elements that are different from a default.xml or from some other reference (I'm not sure how your UI is built)

I know you're busy with other developments but I make it as a suggestion. I think Visual Studio does a great job of showing a huge number of settings whilst making it easy to see what's been changed.

I have no idea why my chart looks different from yours.

Clearly I have changed my default background colour to white.
