Hi there SC support,

I have an issue with aligning DOM graph visible on chart and current price line study.
Very often current price study shows lets say price 1000, but DOM graph chart shows that the actual price is already few ticks above/below that price.
Then Current price line study quickly aligns. But this is not happening in an orchestrated way.
Please see picture I attached for reference.
Current price line shows: 12690
But first bid is already available at 12691.
In this example there is just one tick difference, but I face issues with 5-6 ticks of difference.
I scalp and therefore it is important to me that those two are perfectly aligned.
Any kind of refreshing setup? For a chart, or for a Study?

Would be really grateful for assistance on this topic. Thanks.

This is not unusual. The last trade price is not always going to be matching with the market depth data.

Hi Sierra Chart,

Hmm, correct me if I am wrong but if I see DOM depth levels moving up and down and traded volume goes behind it, then that means contracts are traded at certain price.
I just have a feeling that Current Price line is having a delay.
