Is there a way to control the start of count of ticks in a bar in a tick-based chart?

I use 2000 tick charts. I have 3 of these on my displays. One is a standard candle stick, one is a HLC, and the other is a HLC using the Numbers indicator. Each has the Countdown timer study showing the remaining ticks in the chart. I would expect each countdown timer to be the same, but they are not. I wonder if there is a way to control the start of counting ticks on a chart in an attempt to align these countdown timers.. These are off varying amounts, not just a couple of ticks. |

If these charts are all exactly the same apart from how the bars are displayed, and if they are all part of the same installation, then you should have the same remaining ticks displayed in the Countdown Timer for each chart. There could be a small difference, a few ticks, depending on the updating of each chart with respect to the trading occurring, particularly in a heavily traded symbol, but otherwise they should be close. From what you are stating, there must be something else different about these charts. In particular, take a look at the Session Times and the option for "New Bar At Session Start". But there are many items in the Chart Settings that can affect a chart and make it different from another one. We would also recommend starting with one of the charts and duplicating it and then modifying the bar display type. If the countdown timer is correct in this case, then there is definitely something different between the other charts.
