Very frustrated, i know there MUST be a simple fix to this

Here is say NVDA, why is the weekly all of a sudden starting mid week on a Wednesday?
Its not correct

How do i Fix this in my chartbook so this stops happening? For some reason every month this weekly Number bars gets messed up for everything, futures and stocks. Picture attached. I dont change Anything in date range , this just randomly happens all the time.

Thanks in Advance

The problem is that you are using an "Intraday Only" chart and wanting to see weekly data. We assume that you have set the Bar Period to be 7 days then.

But the system does not actually recognize this as a "Week", but rather as just 7 days. Therefore you would have to make sure that your From date for your Data Range is set to a Monday so you will then get weekly bars that start on a Monday.

Hi All -

Having the same issue - the problem is, when I set to Historical Chart, the Number Bar data zeros out (0x0).

I tried changing the date range but it just resets back to 2023-02-24.

Days to Load (when selected as an option) doesn't seem to help either.

I'm just looking to see significant imbalances on the weekly chart (M-F), starting 4:00a ET on Monday to 8:00p ET Friday.

Any further clarification and instruction is much appreciated.

Thanks!

You need to use an Intraday chart, you cannot use an Historical chart for the Numbers Bars. To ensure this, set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period >> Chart Data Type" to "Intraday Chart Only". This way, whatever bar period you select will use the intraday data only.

From there, you need to use the "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Load Data Limiting Method: Date Range" to set a from date that is a Monday. And then set your Bar Period to be 7 days. You will then get weekly bars.
