I'm seeing a discrepancy in historical pricing. When viewing August 22, 2022 on my chart the NQ Mini shows a high of 13,555.5. However when viewing the same day in Tradingview and Barchart I see a high of 13,226.5. I've tried deleting and downloading the data, but it shows the same. Days around that Aug 22, 2022 date are also wrong. Any thoughts on why and how to correct?

You are looking at a continuous back adjusted chart.

Okay. Changed to "Continuous Futures Contract - Date Rule Rollover" and that did fix the issue. Thank you for the assistance, however I'm wondering if the backward adjustment options result in incorrect data, what is the purpose?

The purpose is to bring the previous contracts "in line" with the current contract. It all just depends on how you want to look at the historical data. If you want to view it as if it were a single contract, then you would want to back-adjust. If you want to view the individual contracts as they were, then do not.
