floating weekly data

["Lionel Issen" <lissen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tech support said that this couldn't be done.

I got this from Guppy's site, Q & A.  After a little fussing it worked

I know you can set the Periodicity to 'Weekly', with each bar representing a
week - Monday to Friday, but I would like a floating week, i.e. each bar to
represent the last 5 days, can MetaStock do this?

This can certainly be done! Click on the Periodicity button on the Chart
Toolbar and select the 'Other.' option (if you can't see it, select Daily
and try again). Now set the number of Periods to 5 - or whatever number you
like. The other way to do this is to right click on the X-Axis, select
'X-Axis Properties' and then the Periodicity tab.
