Volume Per Bar Charts Differ

Hello,

Tonight I noticed my volume charts on my local PC and Amazon EC2 differ.

Here is the EC2 screenshot: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1603092254696.png
Local PC: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1603092274147.png

As you can see even the 200 simple moving averages are different.

My chart settings:
- Volume Per Bar
- Setting: 400
- Symbol: NQZ20_FUT_CME-ALL

I am using SC Futures Order Routing/Data [trading]:
- Primary Server: Server 2
- Backup Server 1: Server 1
- Backup Server 2: Server 5
- Intraday Data Storage Limit Unit: 1 Tick

Is it normal to have different volume bars on different machines? I have also noticed the countdown do not match. I am having this issue with volume bars, time based bars like 5 minutes is ok.

I would appreciate helping me out.

Thank you

Definitely do not use this symbol suffix:
NQZ20_FUT_CME-ALL

That is absolutely going to cause data variations which we will not help with at all.
