I run a desktop computer as well as a laptop computer. There is an approximately 8 second difference on the Transact chart time between the 2 computers. I am using the same time frame for the charts. The time clock count at the top of the charts is definitely not the same between the 2 computers. It is off by the same amount in both simulation mode and live mode. Consequently, the intraday charts are quite different, and obviously not synchronized with the exchange time. How can I calibrate the chart times to coincide exactly with the time of the exchanges? The computers are set to automatically adjust the time from the same internet time server. Thank-you |

Based upon what you describe your computer's clock is not set accurately. Refer to help topic 38: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/helpdetails38.html Check both of the clocks.

I have set them both to the same internet time server and on automatic, and have updated them both but they were still out of sync 8 seconds. I then changed the seconds manually so they now match. But did I change the time to match the exchange? I don't know because all I did is match the computer's clock to the sierra chart clock. How do I know what the exact time is at the exchanges? Is there some way of seeing the clock at the exchange, so I can see my computers clock as compared to the exchanges clock? Thank-you |

The clock you see on the title bar of Sierra Chart is derived from your local computer clock. We recommend going to a website that displays the current time to determine the actual time. Obviously the exchanges will use the actual time. Have a look at: http://www.timeanddate.com/ Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Ok. I was hoping to find a way to see or even synchronize my computer with the clock at the exchanges, but this will do. I can do it manually using the timeanddate site. Thanks for your help
