Post From: Historical and realtime - local dataabse - discrepancy

Lately I've experienced some discrepancy on my chart with a fellow trader.
We both have same version of SC, Denali + CQG and we are referring to exactely the same chartbook:

We noted that sometimes the VPOC and therefore the value areas of past days were pretty different from mine to his.

The only difference is that I keep my Sierra Chart switched on almost all day long, he, instead, open it at the end of the day and downloads data and trade the last part of the day.

If I delete and download the last contract (Edit > Delete all data and download) then my charts become exactly as his own chats with no discrepancy at all..

Some doubts jump on my mind:
1) do my Sierra Chart builds the local database with realtime data stored when the pc is on? (I suppose yes)
2) instead my fellow trader builds most of its local database downolading the Denali historical data (I suppose yes)
3) if both is YES is there a discrepancy from the 2 datas? it shouldn't...
4) do I miss something else? if not it's worring... which one is exact?

P.S. we still saw this discrepancy only with E-Mini S&P whith NQ still didn't find discrepancies

please let me know
regards
