Hi,

I would like to set up an intraday chart with daily bars starting at 3:30:00 PM CEST (which is the open of the US market) and ending at 3:29:59. I have attached what I have done in the chart settings. However, I get sunday bars on my chart. If I choose "No Not Load Weekend Data", I no longer have friday bars but I still have sunday bars (which I think include monday overnight data).

What I want is a bar beginning on friday at 3:30:00 PM and ending on monday at 3:29:59 PM (so it would include the weekend gap, if there is one). I read this page: Chart Session Times: Load Weekend Data Setting (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times) but I can't find what to do.

Thanks for your help.

You can not do what you want, as the data from the CME Group is what it is. In particular, trading stops at 16:00:00 (Central US time) on Friday evening, then trading resumes again on Sunday at 17:00:00 (Central US Time). So there is actual data to be had from Sunday at 17:00:00 into Monday.

I know that, but I want the data from Friday US market open to just before monday US market open to be included into one bar, which would NOT be a daily bar per se. All other bars from monday to thursday would be, however.

Is that possible?

There is not a built-in way to do this.

You might be able to program a study that creates custom bars, but even then, we are not sure what you are wanting will work. Refer to the following:
