Post From: Saturday bars not plotting

I have also always wanted this and hope it is available one day. The reason for this, just like on a daily chart with calendar days instead of only trading days, is that natural cycles do not care if the market is open or not. So measuring time this way requires ALL of the bars in a day so that things like the chart calculator and other time based drawing tools count the bars properly. Also, if I have a drawing on a daily chart that falls on a Saturday and I copy it to a smaller resolution chart based on intraday data, it will shove the drawing to Monday, which then alters the rest of the drawing, making any calculations from it erroneous. It seems like it would be as simple as plotting the session times with an "include weekends and holidays" option. Then you could run a true 24/7 chart. I wanted to comment here rather than start a new thread so that it is noted someone other than just the OP would like this capability as well.
