High Low Inaccurate in 5 min chart

Hi @adi

Welcome to the Dhan Communtiy.

We request you to kindly refer to this, we have explained how Intraday charts are different from Day charts.

@PravinJ

Why is there a difference in charts between two charting platforms?

To explain this, let’s start with how charts are created in live markets. There are two scenarios here

• When you open charts in non-trading hours, charts data come from servers where it is stored
• When you open charts in trading hours, past data again comes from servers, and the live data of the selected time-frame comes from live market price ticks from exchanges.

Yes, so the live data for the ‘currently selected time-frame’ is first rendered on your charts and then it is saved in the background the moment the time-frame ends as OHLC (Open High Low Close) for that timeframe. This means that there is a good chance of some price ticks getting missed by your device due multiple reasons - the moment you land on the chart, the connection at time of request made and also as a result of internet drop or packet loss (which is quite common in India) - and this may happen despite the fact that you are connected via 4G, 5G, broadband or a leased line.
