		Hello. I'm new to TC and I love it. Awesome service.  
 
My question is when viewing a chart in daily mode I know that 1 bar equals 1 day therefore a 20SMA for example would be 20 trading days but when you switch to a 2 day or 5 day chart for example do the indicators still calculate based on 1 day or on 1 bar (which could be multiple days)? 
 
Thanks.

		docsep, 
 
When ever you change from daily to 3 days or 4 days or weekly view the chart bars will automatically adjust. 
The best way to see this, is to pull up a chart of a recent IPO such as "N".

		docsep, 
The indicator periods are in Bars, so if you are viewing a Daily chart, a 20-Period Simple Moving Average will be a 20-Day Simple Moving Average. On any other type of chart, the Period will be based on something other than Daily.
