<div style="background-color: #e0ffff;">'''Note:''' It is worth mentioning that even with all of these settings being identical, the values in the scanner might not coincide with the data series on the chart. That is because the scanner uses a special realtime source for the data – the same as the one that is used for the Status line of the chart. And in case your data provider sends different status line values compared to the chart values, there is nothing that can be done to rectify this.</div>
<div style="background-color: #b6e1fc;">'''Note 2:''' The following data sources do not have status line values: ASCII Mapping, CSI, Free Quotes, Metastock.</div>
<div style="background-color: #87cefa;">'''Note 3:''' Avatrade, LMAX, OANDA, Universal DDE do not supply or return zeros for some or all of these values to status line: Open, High, Low, Prev, Volume.</div>
==Comparing indicator values on charts and in scanner==
If there’s there is a discrepancy in the chart and scanner indicator’s calculations, then it may be related toone of the following:
* different symbol settings ([[Comparing_Charts_to_Scanner#Comparing_instrument_values_on_charts_and_in_scanner|see point 1 of this article]]);
* different indicator settings. In this case compare and adjust:
# the [[Indicator_Settings#Advanced_properties|Skip identical ticks option]] state.
Also verify that you don’t did not use an additional data series in the indicator’s calculation on the chart, because in the Scanner you can only use Data1 for calculations.If you still observe the differences in the indicator values, cross-check the logic of the indicator.
