Hi there,
I am using a paid feed from you guys. I am in a chat room with other people who use Ensign. I see how Overnight data is printed.
Sierra is always off by a tick ONLY In OVERNIGHT trade. (Once the market Opens, its OK).
What I mean is this:
1. On the downside, the Overnight Low Bar on 3600 bars chart closes a tick EARLIER. Say, if Overnight Low bar closed at 2798.25, but in Ensign and other software it seems the Overnight Low Bar closed at 2798.

2. On the upside, the Overnight High Bar on 3600 bars chart closes a tick Late.Say, if Overnight High bar closed at 2809, but in Ensign and other software it seems the Overnight High Bar closed at 2809.25.

Do you know the reason ? Here is the link of the chart today.

You can see the 2 Yellow Lines on the left Side: One is at 2798.25 (the close of the Overnight bar on downside) and One Yellow Line on the above at 2809(the close of Overnight bar on Upside). These numbers should have been 2809.25(upside) and 2798(downside).

Here are my settings in the chart for the Overnight Trades:

This probably will not change anything, but set the Evening End Time to 09:29:59

Also New Bar at Session Start is only going to start a new bar once a day. Not at each session. Refer to:
Chart Settings: New Bar at Session Start (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times >> Intraday Chart Session Times menu)

Nope nothing helped. I tested setting both "New Bar Session Start" or Setting the evening time to 09:29:59.

What I want to know is if you have 3600 bar chart, what values do you see today (1/2/2018).

Do you also see the downside value at 2798.25 (the close of the Overnight bar on downside) and 2809(the close of Overnight bar on Upside) as shown in the image above. Or you have it correct at 2809.25(upside) and 2798(downside). We are talking about bar close.

We see the same information you are seeing in your Sierra Chart given the same chart settings. We have an open price of 2798.25 for the bar at 5:13:16 and an Open price of 2809.00 for the bar at 8:48:35.

Here is a screenshot showing the same information.
