Hello, I was wondering why current price does not move at the same time across multiple charts (time frames) of the same symbol. Sometimes one chart will move up or down one tick and the other chart stays still. Other times the moves are the same but one chart is about 1/3 of a second behind the other. I would expect price to move at the exact same moment regardless of which chart I'm looking at. Does each chart have its own data connection or something? I don't know which one to look at to get the most accurate current price! As a scalper, I can't be second-guessing the accuracy/timeliness of currently displayed price.

This does not make sense and we are not sure why:
Sometimes one chart will move up or down one tick and the other chart stays still.
It is not a problem that we hear about.

To solve this problem you need to decrease the Chart Update Interval:
