Dear Support, I am trying to create charts that are equivalent of a historical weekly chart, but constructed from intraday data. I need to do that because I want to display information (Numbers bars, etc) that can not be used with historical (Daily, Weekly, etc) charts. When I simply create a 5-days period intraday chart (Timeframe: 5-0-0), the last bar(s) look nearly identical to the Weekly bars, but the previous historical bars are completely different - obviously because of the different start time and the 'fraction' days like Sunday. I do not expect/need these 5-days charts to be identical to the weekly bars 100% but would like to create something that is as close as possible. May I ask you to provide some hints - what settings you recommend to adjust to end up with 5days charts as close to the weekly as possible? Thank you in advance. |

I followed the instructions above to set up a weekly chart using intraday data. However, even with the settings set to 7-0-0, the chart simply goes back 7 days from the current bar, regardless of the calendar week. As a result, I end up with incorrect weekly bars during short weeks. How can I fix this? Thanks |

Refer to: Chart Settings: Weekly Bars (Time Specific Bars) From documentation: To create a Weekly chart from Intraday data, use a setting of 7-0-0. This is unlike Historical charts, which would use a setting of Weekly or 5 Days . To have Weekly bars start on a Sunday it is necessary to set Chart >> Chart Settings >> Use Date Range >> From to a Sunday Date in the past. You may also need to adjust the Session Times.
