Anyone know why MC format date setting doesn't skip holiday weekdays when counting days back? I tried modifying holiday schedule in exchange settings and still same thing. So for example, if on a 5 minute chart of XYZ stock on 1/2/2018 I set it to 2 days back it still counts New years Day as a trading day, and only displays the data for one day ( 1/2/2018). It doesn't see 12/30/2017 as a trading day, because 1/1/2018 is counted.
Is there any way to permanently make it skip the holidays just like it skips weekends?

Re: Format Date- Days back and holidays
Hello, automaton!
I’m afraid there’s not much you can do about the way holidays are treated by MultiCharts when Bars Back/Days Back setting is chosen for the Data Range on the chart. This is to re reworked at some point, but I’m afraid we cannot give any ETA at the moment.
As for now please try setting the Data Range using the From – To interval.

automaton,
I’m afraid there’s no such PM link. This is our internal intention to readdress this setting behavior in relation to holidays.

Thanks Anna
I'm assuming these types of "internal intentions" take precedence over any feature request in the PM dashboard. I can't say with certainty that it's a bug, but considering that it skips specific non-trading days (weekends) and not holidays sure make it appear as one. If there is anything I can do to help streamline resolving this issue, please let me know.

automaton,
You can create a PM request for this so that other users could vote for it. The bigger the number of interested users, the more chances there’re for the feature to be implemented faster.
