What are you seeing that gives the impression that you have a 3 second lag?

If this is the "DD:" display in the Chart Header, then this is a difference between your computer's clock and the clock used by the exchange to timestamp the trades. A small number, like 3 seconds, usually indicates that your computer clock is off by that amount. Refer to the following for an option to setup NTP (Network Time Protocol) through Sierra Chart:
