Candlestick Chart Price Discrepancy

Hello,

I've noticed a discrepancy in the Candlestick chart compared to the price shown by the Number Bars Study.

In a specific time range, when I refer to a candlestick chart, it indicates that the recent range low should be 4737.25 (screenshot 1) at 12:26 PST. However, the Number Bars study displays the low as 4737 (screenshot 2). Despite the seemingly minor difference of only 1 tick, I've consistently observed this discrepancy.

Upon verifying the data against third-party sources, I've confirmed that the candlestick chart is off by few ticks.

Could you please help me understand why the range highs and lows in the candlestick chart differ by a few ticks? Am I possibly overlooking adjustments to certain settings?

The first chart is a continuous futures chart and contains more than one contract month. You need to know what contract month is at each chart bar. Refer to:
