Taking for example a 5 seconds time frame, i would like that bars are updated every 5 seconds, without waiting some price movement (tick).
This can be very useful for simulating correctly spread trading and arbitrage trading operating in the past, or results are totally wrong.

Re: Modify bars updating
No im not refering to this, i can notice this behaviour using 2 different data provider.
For example, take EUR.USD (2 secs) from broker "A" in data1, and DAX (2 secs) from broker "B" in data2, then you can see that bars are not in line.

Re: Modify bars updating [SOLVED]
Hello No Erocla,
The data series can be not in line for milliseconds due to different source of timestamps for the realtime bars.
For OANDA the realtime bars have the OANDA server timestamps.
For IB this parameter is optional - "Use server timestamps" is disabled by default for this connection: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... ve_Brokers
You can have your PC clock synchronized automatically with the Internet time (check which server Oanda is synchronizing with) to minimize the discrepancy.
