v2092, I never noticed this "(delayed)" suffix at the end of the top-line of the chart. See attached example in SPY.BZ, in the lower right corner text. For example, in the attachment, the top line is "SPY.BZ[M] 1 Min #1 C:282.74 T:1274 Chg:0.57 DChg:0.00 2020-05-01 15:59:59 H:282.75 L:282.14 V:373230 B:0.00 A:0.00 0x0 TR: 0s BV:157741 AV:215489 DV:0 DD: 06:03:53(delayed)" Does this mean the *data* is delayed rather than real-time, or something else?

Found it. This is called the Chart Header field. Working With Charts: Chart Header Field Descriptions "DD (Data Delay): This calculates and displays the difference between the current time and the time of the Last Trade Price. This is used to determine how much of a delay there is. If there is a delay of more than 1 minute "(delayed)" is displayed as well. It is normal for this to show a delay at times of several seconds or even potentially of a minute or more during the time the market is open because there can be changes with the bid/ask prices but there is not a new trade." |

That documentation is somewhat out of date because now there is a comparison of the current time to the greatest of the last trade time or the last Bid/Ask update time. This is effective as of 2098.
