When I execute a trade and the marker on the chart for the position comes up, it seems to be placing it in random spots on the chart. It isn't on the bar or at the moment of execution. It used to work fine but recently changed. I am trading a 9 range chart.

Please see attached. Even the ones on the bars are not in the right spot. You can see the other ones floating.

I checked my computer settings and the timezone is set correctly. Is there something in SC that needs done with the time zone setting? How do I do that?

What is the symbol for the chart that is showing the issue?

The information in the section linked to is about the clock on your computer being off from the time of the data (which comes from the exchange). It is not about the Time Zone.

Please get us your Message Log by following these instructions so we can see if your computer clock is off:

Your computer clock is different from the exchange clock (which is set to match the national standard clock) by 54 seconds. This definitely could cause what you are seeing. Here is the line from the log:
2025-02-28 12:42:37.606 | Local computer UTC time and Server UTC time difference: 54 seconds.

Refer to the following for how to turn on the Network Time Protocol within Sierra Chart to keep your computer time synchronized to the national standard:

The previous markers will remain offset, as those time stamps were incorrect based on your clock at that time.
