Number of days in a week of a weekly chart?

[luxurious_04]

I would like to ask the number of days to form a bar of a weekly chart? Is it 5 days from Monday to Friday only or weekends are included? Or only 6 days including Sunday?

Hello luxurious_04 ,

Thank you very much for your post.

A weekly chart will always be based on 7 daily candles, starting on Sunday.

If you would like a different timeframe charted, one alternative would be to instead chart a 7-Day chart with a specified date range, as you would then be able to freely select which days are combined into one week.

Should you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to let us know!

Starting on Sunday and what day it ends? It's Saturday, right? Is this for all templates or trading hours?

Hello luxurious_04 ,

The weekly candle would always start on Sunday and end on Saturday, identically to how the trading hour templates list the weekdays:



If you chart a contract that does not trade 7 days a week, it would then simply use the available data from within this timeframe. A Futures contract that trades Sunday to Friday, for example, would only merge these days.

Please don't hesitate to let me know should you have any further questions!
