Post From: Renko Price Bars Not Accurately Displayed

The Scale Padding Percentage was set to -53.999996 when I downloaded today's 1625 chart.
This is simply the result of using Interactive Scale Range:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Interactive Scale Range - Expand/Compress Scale

This was a setting that you indirectly set yourself.

Sierra Chart is not going to change any settings between versions. That conclusion is incorrect.

For some mysterious reason the Price Bars for ONLY this morning's data are NOT beginning and ending at 0.10 increments even though that is what they are set for in Chart Settings.
They should not necessarily be in even increments. They should represent the true actual trading values of the market and not manipulated to false prices. Also there is no direct setting for this.

Have a look at this section here about this:
Renko Bar Charts: Opening Price for First Renko Bar and Alignment (Aligned Renko Bars)


You will want to use Aligned Renko Bars.
