    I was a TWS user over 5 years ago and left for ToS. So, now I decided to come back again to see the same overlapping candles on top of each other on many of the charts.

    Bar size does not make a difference... from the smallest to largest... It seems that this happens to 4hr chart on almost all futures contracts.

    I'll upload various sizes...
     
  5. same issue, made a post while back. Contacted support w/o a fix. Sometimes flipping tickers or zooming is a temporary fix.

    here are couple of additional shots. I called them then they forwarded me to a lovely muzak them they hung up... :D

    Included two shots of various sizes. looking left and the right of the red doji... It's just FUGLY. not just the bars but volumes as well.

    Whoever is coding this must be an absolute amateur. Same issue since 2010.

    running tws latest, stable, etc will not make a difference.

    If I recall someone mentioned change my resolution to 640x480... ROFLMAO... it would look amazing on a Dual 4K monitor.

    IB doesn't seem to give a damn. Same issues...month after month...year after year. Its an advanced great platform in someways and straight falls on its ass in other simplistic ways.

    Oh...you're allowed to have 100 simultaneous lines of data...but if you want to have more than a handful of charts open TWS cant handle that. So irritating
