The data is working ... It's very slow.

Well I have tradovate on another screen for example and tradovate seems quicker to update price then SC, maybe I need to tweak the settings but I'm pretty sure SC is quicker than tradovate.

SC is prettu much the quickest in the business AFAIK (as far as I know).

So that's what I don't understand. It seems like the refresh intervals are too big, even tho I set them to 5ms, I tried 10ms and 50 ms, they were on 0 (global) and it was the same thing.

Like it's not bad but I know it can be quicker than that.

It just feels jerky right now.

Make sure you are adjusting the correct item. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Chart Update Interval in Milliseconds (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Display >> Chart Update Interval menu)

Note that this has to be done per chart. There is also a global setting, which is what is used when the chart setting it set to 0. Refer to the following:
General Settings Window: Chart Update Interval (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> Update Intervals)

Also refer to the following:
General Settings Window: Use OS Timer for Charts (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> Update Intervals)
