Using MC and IB.
1) All bars in MC are time-stamped one hour behind IB bars. For example, the 5:14 EST minute bar in TWS shows as 4:14 pm in MC.
2) Bar charts in MC's do not exactly match charts in TWS. Not only are candles rendered differently, but sometimes the highs and lows are different (off by a tick or two). This doesn't make sense.

What is the symbol?Using MC and IB.

What is the chart resolution?
Is this a new chart? or new symbol?
What is the exchange time vs your local time?
Do you have the session template configured properly?
Re: Some problems
I'm 99% sure MC forms bars on time stamps which would say MC bars are accurate. TWS who knows? But I would say MC is accurate and TWS is "off."Using MC and IB.

I believe you simply need to adjust the time on MC to match the time zone of TWS.

Re: Some problems
Hello veritasig,
1) TWS shows bar open time, MultiCharts shows bar close time.
If you need to change the Time Zone for your chart - here is how to do that.
2) Most likely you are plotting different Quote Fields in MultiCharts and TWS. Here is how to configure it in MultiCharts. In TWS go to Edit->Chart Parameters->What to show.
