How does Sierra Chart know when to start a new candlestick on a chart? Does it use my computer's time or information received from the data feed?

I'm curious because if it uses my computer's time and the time is not accurate, then my candlesticks will look different than everyone else.

We see you are using TD Ameritrade. So in this case, the local computer clock is used for reliability.

We have observed TD Ameritrade timestamps cannot be relied upon.
