Hello. I have saved a layout of three templates and one is set for the weekly time frame and the other two are set for the daily time frame. When I load the layout, I only get the previous weeks close and on the dailies I get the current days close. How do I set up the layout where I get the current days close on all three charts on the layout? Thanks.

Well common sense concludes that you can't get weekly data until the week ends. So your currently daily chart will show todays activity but your weekly chart will not show until the week is over. Can't make up imaginary data, unless you are using a random number generating simulation.

Got incontact with support today and we found out that in order to have the weekly chart reflect the same close as the daily chart, I have to download the data and have it reside on my hard drive. Problem solved

I can see where logic would dictate your thoughts in the belief that you can only see week ending data on a weekly chart however, this is not the case.

Correct, you would have to download Daily data specifically, which can then be compressed weekly bars. The current weekly bar (when compressed from Daily) should give you the current week's partial value. This is not possible via data on demand as when you request Weekly periodicity the data is sent natively in that time frame and you will only get complete bars.
