Post From: Delayed Data question

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the delayed data is displayed in the system. The delayed data is shown at the time that the data is actually for. Therefore, your chart will display the most recent data as 10 minutes and 10 seconds behind the real time.

Therefore, if you go from Delayed to Real-Time data, the missing data will fill in as historical intraday data. Conversely, if you go from Real-Time to Delayed data, there will be a pause in the data updating for 10 minutes and 10 seconds until it "catches up" to the data that is in the system.

The data is all stored in the same .scid files. There is nothing you need to do with regards to these files when changing back/forth between Real-Time and Delayed data.

Refer to the following with regards to time zones and the settings:
