Custom Timeframes - 9Days

[MCKS]

I would like to have a chart with a 9 day timeframe. Is that possible? If so, how do I add that timeframe please?

I'm using the Windows Desktop ToS app.

@MCKS No, we cannot create custom timeframes within TOS...The built-in 10 Days is the closest you're going to get to 9 Days...

This 10 Chart layout has 1 thru 10 day customized timeframes with your 9 day request highlighted:

Each Timeframe is easily accessed thru the Time frame setup icon at the top of the Chart.

@Carl-not-Karl It's hard to believe that after all these years I had never scrolled the entire timeframe list to see Custom...

Thank you for responding. Added layout displayed all 1m timeframes.

I'm new to ToS, so am I correct in thinking the correct question I should be asking is Can I add custom "Aggregation Periods" beyond the default ones shown below:

Yes, you can add custom timeframe periods (see the image I posted above for 9 day timeframe).
The drop-down list in the pic are the styles that I have saved in my personal Styles library.
Note: You must Save Style... after creating your new Chart Style so the settings you choose are retained and they will reside in your personal Styles library. Give your new style a unique name (again, see image) as you may prefer Candles or Heikin Ashi, colors, extended hours, Volume (many other Chart Settings options to set), etc.

As you are new to ToS please read: https://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/howToTos/thinkManual/charts/Chart-Style-Settings

Also Bing/Google "thinkorswim chart customization" for videos on the subject.

I'm sorry, but I am not getting it! When I followed the instructions, I have 1 minute bars displayed. I am after 3 years of data on a chart with each candle representing 9 days.

Am I correct in thinking the Time interval is the period of data available to be displayed on the chart and "Aggregate Period" is the number of periods making up each bar?

So wouldn't the Aggregate period for a chart where each candle represents 9 days have an Aggregate Period of 9 Days? If I wanted to have 3 years of data available to display on the chart, wouldn't I enter 3 yesrs as the timeframe.

Thank you for your patience and guidance.

Your first post was lacking useful information (i.e. 3 year time interval and 9 day aggregation period) for any member of the uTS community to properly assist.

The answer is what @rad14733 posted. Your specific request cannot be solved as there is not a Custom option for that 3 year time interval.

My apologies for the original missing info and use of incorrect ToS terminology.

I am flexible with the time frame/interval (i.e. 3 years). The main focus is the Aggregation Period of 9 Days.

Is that aggregation Period available at all please, with any time frame/interval?

Thank you

This is meant to create candles on a daily chart based upon the number of bars/Days input.
To test the code, there are optional vertical lines, HLCO lines and hiding of price bars.
The new candles will plot after the number of bars input is reached.
A forming bar will appear as a bubble showing the HLCO status and potential color of it..

#Daily Chart to show Candles formed by Number of bars input

input numberofbars = 9;
input showverticals = no;
input showlines = no;
input showbubbles = yes;
input showdailycandles = no;

HidePricePlot(showdailycandles == no);

def bn = BarNumber();
def na = Double.NaN;
def bar = bn % numberofbars == 0;

AddVerticalLine(if showverticals == no then na else bar, "");

def h = if bar then high else if high > h[1] then high else h[1];
plot hh = h;
hh.SetHiding(!showlines);
def l = if bar then low else if low < l[1] then low else l[1];
plot ll = l;
ll.SetHiding(!showlines);
def o   = if bar then open else o[1];
plot oo = o;
oo.SetHiding(!showlines);
def c   = if bar[-1] then close else c[1];
plot cc = c;
cc.SetHiding(!showlines);

def h1 = if bar then hh[1] else na;
def l1 = if bar then ll[1] else na;
def o1 = if bar then oo[1] else na;
def c1 = if bar then cc[1] else na;
AddChart(if c1 > o1 then h1 else na, l1, o1, c1, ChartType.CANDLE, Color.GREEN);

def h2 = if bar then hh[1] else na;
def l2 = if bar then ll[1] else na;
def o2 = if bar then oo[1] else na;
def c2 = if bar then cc[1] else na;
AddChart(if o2 > c2 then h2 else na, l2, o2, c2, ChartType.CANDLE, Color.RED);

input bubblemover = 2;
def b  = bubblemover;
def b1 = b + 1;
def mover = IsNaN(close[b]) and !IsNaN(close[b1]);
def x = if bar then 1 else x[1] + 1;
plot xx = if IsNaN(close[-1]) and x < 9 then x else Double.NaN;


AddChartBubble(showbubbles and mover , if close[b1] < oo[b1 + 1] then hh[b1] else ll[b1], "H:" + hh[b1 + 1] + "\nO:" + oo[b1 + 1] + "\nC:" + close[b1] + "\nL:" + ll[b1 + 1] , if close[b1] > oo[b1 + 1] then Color.GREEN else if close[b1] < oo[b1 + 1] then Color.RED else Color.WHITE, if close[b1] < oo[b1 + 1] then no else yes );
AddChartBubble(showbubbles and mover, if close[b1] < oo[b1 + 1] then hh[b1] else ll[b1], "Forming\nBar: " + x[b1] + ":" + numberofbars,  if close[b1] > oo[b1 + 1] then Color.GREEN else if close[b1] < oo[b1 + 1] then Color.RED else Color.WHITE, if close[b1] < oo[b1 + 1] then yes else no );
