Calculation notes
- Uses UTC calendar periods built from the chart's own candles, so it needs a continuous native data feed (crypto spot).
- Draws one box per UTC day, week or month from this chart’s own bars. Automatic mode picks the day below a daily chart, the week from daily to below weekly, and the month for weekly charts. The current box keeps updating; boxes with missing bars are marked incomplete.
