HI I was doing a side x side comparison of my demo account running on a second instance and my live accoutn running on my main instance.
I noticed 2 things. first the demo account and live account charts are actually different as they draw and have different gaps etc between price bars. I am doing this on a 5 volume chart just so i can see microscopically where they are different. do you know why this is? ALso since som eof mmy orders are client side I am wondering if this stops me from having some orders sent and filled due to price just not being there sometimes.

I also noticed my second instance was much faster at drawing the chart

Can you explain to my a demo account and a lice accont have different charts?
thank you

i think it had to do with my start times. they were different times so the charts were a little different due to the fact that they were based on volume and different times cross referenced a different volume start number is there a poit at which you would recommend to start for a volume chart thank you.
