These were taken within seconds. Im using SC data all services now, but as you can see there is a lag of several ticks to several points at times. Right now it is lagging by a tick. It makes me nervous because I need to be able to trust the data, especially for other indicators I will be importing into SC.

The first thing we need to do is to get your Message Log to see if you are actually receiving real-time data. Instructions:

Follow the instructions here to clear the Message Log:
Message Log: Clearing the Message Log

Reconnect to the data feed:
File Menu: Procedure to Reconnect to the Data and Trade Servers

After about 30 seconds, provide a copy of the Message Log following these instructions:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=PostingInformation.php#MessageLog

We will then determine what the problem is.
