Hello Sierra Team, Situation: When working with intraday charts (Chart Data Type: Intraday Chart Only), I want to view Weekly, Quarterly, and Yearly timeframes while maintaining intraday data rather than switching to Historical Daily data. Currently: -Weekly bars: Require manually entering 7-0-0 in Days-Mins-Secs format AND setting Chart Settings >> Use Date Range >> From to a specific Sunday date - this is cumbersome but works -Monthly bars: Have a dedicated "Monthly Bars" option in the Bar Period Type dropdown - this works perfectly -Quarterly bars: I tried using "3 months" as a workaround but this does not work correctly - bars are not properly aligned to calendar quarters -Yearly bars: I tried using "12 months" as a workaround but this does not work correctly - bars are not properly aligned to calendar years Am i doing it wrong, or is this not supported on intraday Charts ? Historical charts are not an option for me, becasue i have studies which need live data. Thanks in advance for your answer. Regards |

-Quarterly bars: I tried using "3 months" as a workaround but this does not work correctly - bars are not properly aligned to calendar quarters -Yearly bars: I tried using "12 months" as a workaround but this does not work correctly - bars are not properly aligned to calendar years The solution in this case also is to Use Date Range and set, the date to the start of a quarter or the start of a year. It will not work 100% perfect but reasonably close. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Thank you for the workaround suggestion. The Date Range approach doesn't align bars to calendar quarters/years - bars form based on loaded data, not Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 or Jan-Dec boundaries. Observation: Bar Period Type already has Monthly Bars (works perfectly). Weekly/Quarterly/Yearly would complete the standard D/W/M/Q/Y timeframe set using the same implementation pattern. Since Monthly Bars infrastructure exists, adding the other standard timeframes would resolve the inconsistency. Thanks for considering. |
