Chart Flickering

Hello :)
I was wondering how to solve the following issue :
Chart is constantly flickering/refreshing when "Trading Chart Mode On" is Enabled and it`s driving me crazy.
The very moment I disable it, the flickering stops.
I have tried it in other charts as well and the result is the same.
Cheers :)

The only thing we can suggest is to change the state of the option for "Use OpenGL" and see if that makes a difference. Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Use OpenGL for Chart Graphics (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other)

What I am assuming from your reply is that the core of the problem comes from my GPU?

There should never be a flicker. This is not normal. It does not matter, whether chart trading mode is on or not.

So do you see the graphics of the entire chart, continuously flickering? That does not make technical sense. It is not even possible to happen. Check the Message Log and see if there are any error messages:

It is worth nothing that sometimes it stops, and after a while returns for no real reason.
And yes, the entire chart was flickering.
I didn't saw any errors on the message log
After updating Sierra Chart, Windows and GPU drivers and MB Bios, it appears the flickering has stopped.
