My Renko Price Bars are not accurately displayed this morning. Trading CL with data from Interactive Brokers. For some mysterious reason the Price Bars for ONLY this morning's data are NOT beginning and ending at 0.10 increments even though that is what they are set for in Chart Settings. ALL previous Bars line up correctly. After downloading this morning's latest SC version I the Price bars not lining up at 0.01 increments so I went into Chart Settings and noted that while the Scale Increment was set to 0.10, I had to reset the Horizontal Grid increment to 0 and the Scale Padding Percentage to 0 as well. The Scale Padding Percentage was set to -53.999996 when I downloaded today's 1625 chart. After correcting the Chart Settings the Renko Price Bars are still not lining up correctly and are 2 ticks off. This is the second time in 2 days where a newly downloaded version, in this case 1625, screws up my chart settings. What is going on? Not dependable. |

The Scale Padding Percentage was set to -53.999996 when I downloaded today's 1625 chart. This is simply the result of using Interactive Scale Range:Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Interactive Scale Range - Expand/Compress Scale This was a setting that you indirectly set yourself. Sierra Chart is not going to change any settings between versions. That conclusion is incorrect. For some mysterious reason the Price Bars for ONLY this morning's data are NOT beginning and ending at 0.10 increments even though that is what they are set for in Chart Settings. They should not necessarily be in even increments. They should represent the true actual trading values of the market and not manipulated to false prices. Also there is no direct setting for this.

When I use the SC 1615 version that is on my laptop, my 10 tick price bars line up exactly with the 10 tick price intervals on the right side of the chart. However, when I update this version to SC 1625 the Renko price bars beginning on 10/22 are 2 ticks off from the 10 tick price invervals on the right side of the chart. Something has happened between SC 1615 and SC 1625 that causes this error. Can you fix this? I am using IB and IB data. Using Aligned Renko Bars on SC 1625 as suggested does not help. |

There is no problem with this. Refer to this image: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1508820574800.png We are running version 1627 but that should not make any difference. It sounds like you are not using Aligned Renko Bars. When we switch back to standard Renko Bars, they are not aligned .1 increments. Also enable New Bar at Session Start as explained: Renko Bar Charts: Opening Price for First Renko Bar and Alignment (Aligned Renko Bars) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

This morning's data (10/24) the Renko Bars are properly aligned using SC 1625. This is true when using just the Renko Bar(in ticks) setting or the Aligned Renko Bars and New Bar at Session Start settings. However, the Bars from 10/22-10/23 still remain misaligned. Running "Edit/Download - Intra Day Chart" from 10/22 onward does not correct the problem. Did I simply get corrupted data from IB for 10/22-10/23?

Did I simply get corrupted data from IB for 10/22-10/23? Yes it would seem as though there could be some missing data.For the most reliable data use the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed: Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed Also refer to: Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Using Sierra Chart Historical Data Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
