Hello,

I was just wondering if there is a way to add a toolbar button which will change the chart timeframe to 1 day or 1 week, but keep it as an intraday chart?

Background:
I normally use a H4 chart to do my analysis and draw my alerts, but due to the fact that alerts only trigger on the last bar, I need to convert the chart to a daily or weekly chart before I run my scans to make sure I don't miss any alerts. But it seems when I use the daily or weekly timeframe buttons, the chart changes to a historical chart. This is not what I want because it appears that the historical data for the previous day is not yet ready when I run my scans. So I would like to be able to use a toolbar button to switch the chart to an intraday 1-day or intraday 1-week chart, then back to a H4 chart.

Thank you!

Yes there is a way to do this.

In Chart >> Chart Settings, set Chart Data Type to Intraday Chart Only.

Then you could use use the standard Daily and Weekly buttons.
