I noticed that the intraday chart is vastly different from tradingview for futures contract. I've tried to change timezone and session settings, but no matter what I do the chart still looks completely different from tradingview. I'm completely lost as what to do. Please advise. Thanks.
Screenshots of both tradingview and sierra chart are provided below.

Most likely this is because of different Bar Starting Times:

If the op is still looking for the settings to make Sierra Chart candles look like TradingView candles for a futures chart, I believe the bar starting times you need for Eastern time zone are:

Day start time 18:00:00
Day end time 16:59:59

Just leave “use evening session” deselected/inactive as the above times cover the full tradable hours for CME futures like ES.

Adjust for your own time zone. That should produce the candles you seek on a futures chart.
