Remarks

Section titled “Remarks”
  • Values follow Pine’s enumeration: Sunday = 1, Monday = 2, … Saturday = 7.
  • Overnight sessions can report the previous calendar day on the first bar of the session.
  • Combine with time_tradingday to focus on the trading-date weekday rather than the bar’s opening timestamp.

Example
