From the user's point of view, this makes no sense at all. Can this be changed in the settings?

from the user point of view it makes 100 % sense (at least if the user is a trader), the settlement-price matters, the closing-price at 5pm ET doesn't really matter.

In the case of Silver, this causes huge discrepancies between the appearance of the daily candle and actual trading, which distorts the perception of the market. Is it possible to set the daily candles to be drawn after the close of the session based on actual trading rather than the settlement price?

If you want Daily Bars that match to the Intraday data, then you need to create Daily bars from the Intraday data and not from the historical daily data from the exchange.

To do this, set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Chart Data Type" to "Intraday Chart Only". Then you can set the Bar Period Type of "Days-Minutes-Seconds" to be "1-0-0", which will give you a 1 day chart using the exact same Intraday data as you see in the other intraday charts. Just be sure the Session Times are set the same. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Chart Data Type (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Date Range and Limiting Method)

Chart Settings: Bar Period Type (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period >> Intraday Chart Bar Period Settings)

how to remove Sunday candles in intraday chart only ?
[2026-01-28 21:23:01]

There is not a way to remove Sunday specifically.

Keep in mind that if you are using Session Times with an Evening Session, the Evening Session is associated with the next day as the trading day. So Sunday night's data is part of the Monday trading day. Therefore if you setup your chart as we specified above with the Session Times set this way, then your daily bars are going to start in the previous day and show that in the Time scale.

You need to decide how you want to setup your Session Times to give you what you want, and then understand how that will display in the chart.

Can Sunday's session be included in Monday's candle on the daily chart?

If you did what we specified previously and are using an Intraday Only Chart set to 1 day, and you have an Evening Session defined, then the Sunday evening session will be included in the Monday trading day bar, but it will show in your chart as starting on Sunday evening.

On my daily chart, there is a daily bar labelled Sunday, and I am unable to change it. Could you please assist me?

This is what we are telling you. That is correct. When you use an Evening Session, the start of the trading day is the start of the Evening Session. So when you have daily bars built from Intraday data, the day that is displayed will be the day prior. So you will see Sunday for Monday's trading, Monday for Tuesday's trading, etc.

There is no "Solution" to this. This is displaying the completely correct information, as the date/time shows the starting date/time for the bar.

If you want something different, then you would need to adjust the Session Times, for instance you could not use the Evening Session and instead set the Start and End Times to the following:
- Start Time: 00:00:00
- End Time: 23:59:59

This will give you the 24 hours of trading during that calendar day.

You need to decide if this is what you want.

I set the start of the session to 00:00 and the end to 23:59, and I do not have the evening session enabled, yet the Sunday bar appears on the daily chart.

In this case, you would want to set "Weekend Data" to "Do Not Load Weekend Data". Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Weekend Data (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times >> Intraday Chart Session Times menu)
