Hello,
If you are using some function, please read the docs first.
For true WEEKLY use inWeekly constant.
See User's Guide:
http://www.amibroker.com/f?timeframeset
It says:
"VERY IMPORTANT:
inWeekly constant is now 432001 ( 5*inDaily + 1 ) - in previous version it was 432000
inMonthly constant is now 2160001 ( 25*inDaily + 1 ) - in previous version it was 2160000
It is changed because now N-day custom intervals are supported and they will interfere with weekly/monthly.
Note that 5*inDaily is now DIFFERENT than inWeekly. 5*inDaily creates 5-day bars that DO NOT necesarily cover Monday-Friday while
inWeekly ALWAYS creates bars that begin on Monday and end on Friday. Also 25*inDaily creates 25-day bars that DO NOT necesarily
represent full month, while inMonthly always begins with first day of the month and ends at the last day of the month "
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
