Post From: Non standard time-frame historical bar issue

The only way to create 3/4/7/14 day charts is to use intraday data (*.scid), with a setting like this: 3-0-0.
It can't be done using 'Historical' data (*.dly)
So your 'historical' bars are not concatenated *.dly bars.

The only way to attempt to match your broker's 3/4/7/14 day bars using Sierra's intraday data is to know the the start and end times of each 'historical' day.
It would likely not be possible to exactly match *.dly bars using *.scid data.

Read this entire section.

So it would also likely not be possible to exactly match your broker's charts using Sierra's intraday data.

Since you are using intraday data to create multi-day bars, the intraday Session Times would be used for determining when the 'day' begins and ends.
And the Session times are tied to the time zones setting also.

Chart Settings: Days-Minutes-Seconds-Milliseconds Per Bar (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period >> Intraday Chart Bar Period Settings menu)
