Post From: Candle lag (IB data)

I have attached another image of the problem. Look closely at the image. When the instrument really starts to move I can clearly see the midpoint(orange) and bid/ask(red/green) move and reflect the current price. BUT, the candle has about a 1-3 second delay. I have been using the mid price line as a workaround for the delay in the chart, but it's difficult to do this real time. The chart IS updating, but not fast enough. The futures I trade are liquid so the candle bars should always be in sync with the orange midpoint line that I've been using. I need NO delay as futures move extremely quickly at times. This is vitally important. Thank you.


What is the speed that the candles are drawn? I need the chart candles to move just like the bid/ask lines move on the right side of the chart when in session. Please update the code so that the chart updates immediately and there is no lag between the midpoint and bid/ask lines and the candles being drawn. This is a huge problem for me as I trade based on candle patterns. Watching the bid/ask lines is not enough. I really like SC and I want this to work. I can record a short video of my screen and submit it if would be of help. FYI I subcribed to IQFeed and that did not fix the problem so I don't think the data is the culprit here.

Please take time and look into this. I'm not a coder, but a simple fix might be just making the candle show the last sale immediately. The chart can see the data because the midpoint and bid/ask are moving. Again I don't understand why there would be any delay. I really want to use this software. Please help me.
