-Is 'File >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Intraday Data Storage Time Unit' set to 1 tick?
-Is TS also set to create a new bar at session start?
-There will always be some small differences between data feeds.

I agree with TomG as this has been discussed over and over at the SC support board.

Tick is determined via an Algo and it's not uncommon to see differences between one data vendor to the other.

For instance, I use SC's data feed (rebranded barchart) on my SC charts and typically have Thinkorswim (TOS) open at the same time. There will be a difference in hi / low tick reading, but they're basically the same if taken in context of distance from the zero for positive or negative tick, respectively.

The SC data is also faster to display on the charts in regards to what I see on my TOS charts as the TOS platform lags a little.

In short, you have to take it in context of what you see relative to the movement of the underlying symbol.
