Discrepancies in Real-Time 1-Minute Chart Data on Multicharts with IB Gateway (IBKR PRO)

Dear Multicharts Technical Team,

I encountered while using IB Gateway (IBKR PRO) to connect Multicharts 14 (64) for real-time 1-minute charts. The product I am working with is the Hang Seng Index Futures (HSIN4) on the Hong Kong Exchange.

I have noticed significant discrepancies between the real-time candlestick charts on Multicharts and other quote programs. I have attached a screenshot for reference, highlighting the noticeable differences.

Please help !

Thank You
Sam

It's IB data, not multichart.
IB data is not reliable....you will find lots of posts on this subject.

How's about trading in IB and data from other source?
Is multicharts support it?
Any suggestions?

Hello 335,

In MultiCharts, it is possible to use different vendors as data source and broker. To do so, you need to configure Symbol Mapping. The guide can be found here.
