Assume you cannot filter the signal coming in?

A bit hard in AB as straight filtering weekends in databse settings
would not remove the friday after market, but would remove all of
sunday
you may have to code in the filter to your codes etc at start of all AFL

Friday =  dayofweek()==5 and timenum()>160000;
Saturday =  dayofweek()==6;
Sunday =  dayofweek()==0 and timenum()<140000;

O = iif( Friday or saturday or sunday, null, O );
do this for all data OHLCV

You may still see the vacant bars, but the data will be ignored
