Also recommended: 5 Bars - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 4.
I'm happy for people to use them for their own personal (or even company) use, but I would be annoyed if someone decided to sell them.The logic takes weekends (49 hours) into account, but not public holidays. My broker use CET time (no Sunday bars) so unsure how it works with US times.
Note that the 'same chart' indicator has 5 size of scissors (bigger scissors = more missing data), and the separate chart has slightly higher bars as more data is missing.
Feel free to change logic if you wish!
