Post From: Alternate Real Time Update Symbol

The title bar will show the Alternate Real-time Update Symbol, if it is set, instead of the main symbol of the chart. This is normal.

We think we know what the misunderstanding is from. The Alternate Real-time Update Symbol will have no effect upon the chart bars. Those are going to use the bid ask average if set. You can clearly check the values of the bars to observe that. Make sure you increase the Price Display Format number of decimal places. It does affect the last trade price box you see on the price scale. This is explained in the documentation:

There is no room for any kind of problem. Everything should be working as designed.
