Why do you want to see a Sunday bar? There are five trading days for CME Globex. Monday's trading day begins at 5pm CT on Sunday and ends at 4:15pm CT on Monday. So, there is no such thing as a Sunday bar.

Some confusion on my part. Forex charts have Sun. bar, but that's because they actually open at 3 pm for fxcm still, its somewhat confusing to have a checkbox on chart properties, when it has no effect . Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-04-15 05:07:21

Some forex data providers have five bars in a week, and some have six. It is not correct to have a Sunday bar for any market. The reason is very simple: there are FIVE trading days, for every country, for every market, always. There are FIVE 24-hour periods of trading, taken from the US perspective: Day 1: Sunday evening to Monday evening Day 2: Monday evening to Tuesday evening Day 3: Tuesday evening to Wednesday evening Day 4: Wednesday evening to Thursday evening Day 5: Thursday evening to Friday evening So in a 168-hour week (7 days), forex markets are open for 120 hours (5 days). 5 bars, end of story. From the perspective of another country, there are still only 5 trading days, but the times they begin and end will be different (for example, if you live in Australia, the trading week ends on Saturday when the US closes, but it began on Monday, so there are still only 5 full days). Why would a data provider have a Sunday bar that has at most 8 hours of trade, and then five other bars, with almost 24 hours of trade? SC is competent enough to provide the option to combine separate Sun-Mon bars in the case that the data provider is not competent enough to provide five daily bars in a week with five trading days.

In addition to all the information given in post #6 which is correct, the way to get a Sunday bar is to use an Intraday chart. Make sure the session times are set to 0:00:00 and 23:59:59 in Chart >> Chart Settings. Set the time period per bar to 1440 minutes per bar.
