What exactly is flickering? We do not see how re-downloading the data will make any difference. That does not make sense. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

We do not know what is flickering. It is the chart itself? The chart bars and the studies? Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

The candle stick bars flicker... [even when on a new chartbook, with no studies...] The candle stick bars and studies on my regular chart... When move mouse, then candles/studies disappear [flicker off, charting screen goes black]

This definitively is some system specific issue. There is nothing we can do to help with this. We recommend using a different computer. This should never happen. It simply should never happen. There is something not right with your system. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I get it... just that the only time this happens is with SC running and when Chart Trade On mode selected; No other program, no other browser... never happens except in SC with Chart Trade On mode selected All good. Thanks

Maybe this issue is related to OpenGL. Disable OpenGL: Graphics Settings: Use OpenGL for Chart Graphics (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other) And when you have the problem check the Message Log for any Errors that have occurred at the time that might be related to this: Message Log Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
