[amibroker] Re: Weekly from missing daily bars: a 9/11/2001 indicator problem (1010911)

I am just talking about the easy way out.

No matter what you do you can't get an accurate indicator out of 
missing data anyway.


If you SetForeign, fixup == true, then missing daily bars will be 
filled with previous OHLC etc ... you could just run a separate 
window for Weekly view with SetForeign in use.

If you still need a way to view daily or weekly in the same window 
then there might be a code solution.
