When I look at a 3 day Chart, or for that matter any chart > 1 day, the Date that appears on the Data Box is that the date that the bar closed or will close?

Please confirm

Pedro, NinjaTrader would always use the end of bar time to stamp it - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/HowDoesNinjaTraderBuildChartBars.html

Thank you for your reply...

What I dont understand is if I create a 3 Day Bar Chart I get for instance a bar that closed on 4/20, the next one 4/23 and another one on 4/26.

However, there is weekend involved. So the 4/23 closed on a Friday and 4/26 closed on Monday (1 day only) so its not truly a 3 day chart.

Can you please shed some light on this?

What I wanted from a 3 day chart is to plot 3 daily bars into 1.

Please advise

Pedro, you're correct this is expected for 6.5, for version 7 we changed the logic to correctly include the weekend in between those candles.
