Chart Calculations
When a chart is being displayed in a different currency, historical Forex pricing information is used for calculating historical bars. In regards to recent bars in the chart, if user is entitled for real-time Forex than real-time Forex bars are used in the calculation. If not than delayed Forex bars are used.
For delayed Forex , data is delayed 15 minutes.
Note: If user is only entitled for delayed data, and has a 5 minute chart up, the last few bars of the chart will use the most recent forex bar data (i.e a Bar Fill-Forward)
Watchlist/Quote Calculations
For price display in a quote widget, currently Forex rate is updated every 5 minutes.
