Syncing clocks

I have an inquiry regarding syncing my computers clock to SC's clock.

Local computer UTC time and Server UTC time difference: 0 seconds. | 2016-09-20 06:19:26

I always manually sync my computer clock to SC clock. This is something I do every morning as typically it is off by 1-2 seconds each. This is not a big deal to continue to do. I have a stringent structure around what time I start trading each morning and it seems as though the bars start early sometimes, say 06:29:58 instead of 06:30:00. Should I also be re-downloading and re-calcualting data once I sync both clocks?

Thx for the help

Yes. That would be a good idea.

Still having a problem even after re-downloading/recalculating charts. Is it possible for me to start session times at 06:31:00 in chart settings. The reason for this is I often have alerts from the 06:30:00 bar and it is overlapping to the 06:31:00 bar causing me to take the prior alert than the one from the new bar.

Disregard the above, it affects my studies. Any idea on why the bar transition lags? Or any ideas on how I can overcome this?

This is not really clear for us, but it sounds as though this would be the relevant help topic:

Thanks for that. Ive attached a screenshot, TWS and SC are off by looking at the times. Is there any way to sync the clocks?

No, there is no way to do this kind of synchronization to TWS.

Sierra Chart has this command that may be helpful:
Global Settings Menu: Set System Date-Time from Server (Global Settings menu)
