DayOfWeek() function return wrong value

  The DayOfWeek() function return wrong value when the local time of the chart data is not UTC +00.

  I attached 2 example charts with local time that is UTC +08.  The instruments are Hangseng index and Xinhua index.  In the bottom of the chart I added an indicator to display DayOfWeek().

  From the datetime time line you can see the dayOfweek() retun value is out of sync with the date by 8 hours.

  For chart with local time UTC +00,  the DayOfWeek() is in sync with the date. See XBTUSD .

  Is this a bug?

  It uses the market time of the contract not your own custom hours.

  Ok,

  Is there a way we can code around this? or just have to use market time? thanks!
