    NinjaTrader's 1-min bars rebuild from tick data every time you load the chart, so if you're viewing yesterday's action today, you're probably seeing a repaint, the bars adjust as new data fills in, especially with Heikin Ashi since it's based on averages. Try switching to a regular candlestick chart for reviewing past trades, Heikin Ashi is notorious for looking different after the fact.

    I use 1 min to help confirm entries. 10 min if I am actively managing the trade. Candle sticks only.
