this is not the first time i have noticed this but it is very relevant this time. sierra charts looking different from other charting platforms even the charting platform for interactive brokers, and i use IB data for sierra?

Not sure if this is something to do with my settings but i would like to fix this if possible.

Pls see attached file

Your SC chart shows 1hr bars beginning at the bottom of the hour (##:30), whereas the others show 1hr bars beginning top of the hour (##:00).
Did you try enabling 'New Bar at Session Start'?
Chart Settings: New Bar at Session Start (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times >> Intraday Chart Session Times menu)

I changed session start times and it made the chart look different but not like the other charts or even close. I'm not sure i want the candles to start at the session break as i am not sure that is how other people with other platforms would view the chart.

Not really sure how to fix this.
