This morning I noticed my timing in Sierra chart is off for all of my futures charts. For example when the market opened at 8:30am CT my new candle did not open for 22 seconds after it was actually 8:30am CT. I have checked my settings: Session start time - 08:30::00 Session end time - 15:59:59 Evening start time - 17:00:00 Evening end - 08:29:59 In global setting I have Chart Update Interval in Milliseconds to 50 All of my charts that have different futures instruments are all acting the same. I have a countdown timer so I can see the 22 second delay. I have gone though and disconnected and reconnected the data feed as well as closed and reopened Sierra Chart. I even created a new chart and it is still experiencing this timing issue. Do you know what is going on or how I fix this? |

A time difference of 22 seconds would be the difference between your computer clock and what the exchanges use for their clock (which is the the time standard). You can use Sierra Chart to update your computer clock. Refer to the following: Network Time Protocol Client For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
