intraday timeframes and indicators

I have a question about timeframes. I'm using TS2Ki and when I make a 60 minute chart, the program builds the bars so that there are 7 bars in a regular stock trading day, but really there are only 61/2 hours, so the last 60 minute bar is only really 30 minutes. The next day it starts fresh, and does the same thing. Now if I'm using a fixed period for my technical studies, then there is an effect on how the indicators will be calculated. Yet I've never seen any mention of it. I suppose it is standard practice to just ignore this, but I thought I would mention it to see what others think and if they make any adjustments for this. Thanks.
