Why is there a gap up during the overnight on my chart?

[patpat]

I follow Mack at Price Action Trading Systems. His chart from yesterday (8-14) does not have a gap up in the overnight. Mine has a large gap-up. I trade the ES. I have the session template set at CME futures index ETH 2, which is what Mack's is set at. I tried using the 24/7 default session template, but the gap is still there. I only have this issue on my lap top. My desk top does not have the gap up. Any ideas? Thank you.

Thank you. Your suggestion fixed it. I don't know what Mack's merge setting is. But I used the second suggestion you gave me about resetting the instruments. The gap up is now gone! Thanks!
