Weekly bars should open on Sunday

Each week the market closes at Friday 21:00 and opens at Sunday 21:00. Weekly bars should therefore open on Sunday and close on Friday. However currently Weekly bars open on Monday 00:00:00. The few last hours on Sunday are part of the previous weekly bar.

Most people consider the forex week to be finished after Friday night, and starts again on Sunday night, so JForex should stick with this tradition by starting weekly bars on Sundays.

I think dukascopy has the best possible solution, please don't change it.

The user can choose between:
- Merge Sunday Daily Candels into Monday Daily Candles
- Filter all Sunday Daily Candles
- Sunday Daily Candles Filter is disabled.

I prefere "Merge Sunday Daily Candels into Monday Daily Candles" therefore I am missing no data and have the correct pivots for monday.
